Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 5 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $240
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $180
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Samira
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($130 in total) the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from San Francisco
Take care, Samira. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Reading
