Help Hassan get through 5 hard months with four children
Hassan and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇦🇺 Townsville, Queensland, Australia4,628 views
Since my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 February, 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 $3,650 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $520
• Rent top-up: $2,450
• Course fees and exam costs: $680
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you peace, Hassan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
