Help Kemal get through 3 hard months with three children under 5

Kemal and three children under 5 need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last May I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $1,100 goes: • Rent top-up: $440 • Childcare and after-school care: $370 • Groceries and school meals: $175 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 Thank you so much.

Updates from Kemal

  1. Thank you all. We're at 81% now ($891). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent top-up.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 44% funded and I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.
