Help Karim get through 3 hard months with three children under 6
After my partner leaving, Karim is raising three children under 6 alone and needs $600 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 6 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 $600 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Rent top-up: $290
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
If you're reading this, thank you.

Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Alexandria
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Alexandria.
