Since my partner leaving in June, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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: $270 • Childcare and after-school care: $105 • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $45 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Aisha

Update from Cairo: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
