Help Majid get through 4 hard months with four children

Majid and four children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in October, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 December, 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $2,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $900 • Childcare and after-school care: $860 • Groceries and school meals: $260 • Course fees and exam costs: $330 Thank you so much.

Updates from Majid

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($525 in total) the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Dammam: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Stay strong, Majid. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

            Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Dammam.

                  a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Eastern Province. I'll ask around and let you know

                    Best of luck, Majid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Arlington!

                      Praying for you, Majid. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
