After a sudden redundancy in June, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 September, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $250 • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $90 Thank you so much. - Fatima

    You're not alone, Fatima. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Louisville this morning. All the best!

      Hang in there, Fatima. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

        Sending strength, Fatima. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Ikeja

          Best of luck, Fatima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

            keep going, Fatima. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Epe!
