After a house fire, Rabia is raising two young children alone and needs $500 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last December I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $200
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
• Groceries and school meals: $95
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Rabia
Small update. $190 so far, we've started the first stage.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
