Help Mona get through 6 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Mona and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia4,291 views
Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $580
• Groceries and school meals: $540
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Mona. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
