Help Piper get through 4 hard months with four children
After the death of my husband, Piper is raising four children alone and needs $3,450 to stay afloat for 4 months.

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.

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.
