Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $290
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Hala. It takes guts to ask. Well done
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Heliopolis.
Thinking of you and your family, Hala. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Hala. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
