Since the death of my husband in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,450 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,500 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,100 • Groceries and school meals: $850 Thanks for being kind about this. - Piper

  • I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kaduna

    • Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best

      • Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

        • Praying for you, Piper. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Faisalabad donated after I showed her your page.
