Last November I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 March, 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 $2,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $820
• Childcare and after-school care: $630
• Groceries and school meals: $490
• Course fees and exam costs: $260
Thank you so much.
Updates from Ibrahim
Quick update: $639 raised so far (29%). the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Madrid: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.

Best of luck, Ibrahim. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Islamabad donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
take care. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update.
Thinking of you, Ibrahim. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Madrid
