Help Mousumi get through 4 hard months with four children
Mousumi and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last April I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $350 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Rent top-up: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

55% there. I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($193 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Dhaka: the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. We're at 45% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Dhaka.
how is Mousumi doing now?
Keep going, Mousumi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Birmingham.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Hope you get there. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Mousumi. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Take care, Mousumi. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Townsville.
