Help Moumita get through 5 hard months with three children under 8
After the death of my husband, Moumita is raising three children under 8 alone and needs $700 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 October, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Glad we found this place.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Bloemfontein.
Good luck, Moumita. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Surakarta
Hope things get better soon, Moumita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
