Back on our feet: Zoya and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Gujranwala
After a long illness, Zoya is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $550 to stay afloat for 3 months.
Updates from Zoya
Update from Gujranwala: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 70% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 70% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Praying for you, Zoya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Take care
Keep going, Zoya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Vadodara this morning. Thinking of Gujranwala.
so sorry you're going through this, Zoya. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Thinking of you, Zoya. Looking forward to the next update
Sending strength, Zoya. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Zoya. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Cluj-Napoca.
You're not alone, Zoya. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Gujranwala
