Help Hina get through 4 hard months with four children
After a divorce, Hina is raising four children alone and needs $2,800 to stay afloat for 4 months.

After a divorce in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,450
• Childcare and after-school care: $780
• Groceries and school meals: $570
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Hina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Love from Nairobi.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Shinjuku.
Wishing you the best, Hina. Hope you get there.
Hope it all works out, Hina. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Shinjuku.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Polokwane.
