Fatema and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

After a house fire in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Childcare and after-school care: $140
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Fatema. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Mysuru.
Wishing you peace, Fatema. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Rajshahi
