Since my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $350 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $120 • Groceries and school meals: $75 • Childcare and after-school care: $155 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Nour

  1. Quick update: $297 raised so far (85%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Cairo: we've started the first stage. We're at 28% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
