Back on our feet: Waqas and four children in Faisalabad

Last March I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, but I need to bridge the gap until then. Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them. Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $450 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $160 • Course fees and exam costs: $80 • Rent top-up: $210 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Waqas
