Last July I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $110
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Course fees and exam costs: $45
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

so sorry you're going through this, Zubair. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope things get better soon, Zubair. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
sending good thoughts, Zubair. Shared this with my family.
Best of luck, Zubair. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
