Last June I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $970
• Childcare and after-school care: $790
• Groceries and school meals: $640
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Khadija!
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $970, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Seattle.
So sorry you're going through this, Khadija. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Hải Phòng.
Sending love, Khadija. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
