Last October I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 January, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $190
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $65
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Ayesha
Wanted to say thank you properly. 91% funded and I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.
Update from Dhaka: we've started the first stage. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
