Help Tahmina get through 5 hard months with four children
After my partner leaving, Tahmina is raising four children alone and needs $300 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Since my partner leaving in December, I'm now raising four children 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 March, 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 $300 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck, Tahmina. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this, Tahmina. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Radom.
