Help Rubina get through 3 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Rubina and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 September, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $140
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
• Groceries and school meals: $135
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Rubina. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

this could happen to any of us. Love from São Paulo.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Arusha!
This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Anaheim.
