Help Joya get through 3 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Joya and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,152 views
Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 November, 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 $300 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Rent top-up: $120
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($246 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
