Help Idris get through 6 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Idris and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt446 views
Since a long illness in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 $450 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Rent top-up: $240
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck, Idris. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Love from Los Angeles.
