Last March I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 July, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $290
• Groceries and school meals: $175
• Course fees and exam costs: $175
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

hope things get better soon, Emine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Adelaide.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Emine?
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
How is Emine doing now?
Praying for you, Emine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Heliopolis.
Hope this works out for you. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Emine. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Guadalajara.
sending strength, Emine. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Thika
