Help Rashed get through 3 hard months with two young children
Rashed and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,327 views
Last July I went through a sudden redundancy, 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 dental nurse 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Rashed
Update from Dhaka: the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. We're at 38% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $88 raised so far (22%). I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dhaka.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rashed
Rent top-up is $210 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'll check back for the next update.
