Help Ahmed get through 3 hard months with two young children

Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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: $75 • Childcare and after-school care: $160 • Groceries and school meals: $165 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ahmed
