Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $400 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Rent top-up: $250
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

how is Farah doing now?
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Setagaya.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Faisalabad
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about course fees and exam costs, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Half-Way Tree.
Sending good thoughts, Farah. Your post was clear and honest
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Chattanooga.
