Help Jamila get through 4 hard months with four children

Jamila and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

After a long illness in July, 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $200 • Childcare and after-school care: $140 • Groceries and school meals: $165 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Jamila

  1. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($201). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($96 in total) I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
