Help Waqas get through 4 hard months with two young children
Waqas and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇵🇰 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan804 views
Since the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Rent top-up: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family, Waqas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Gazipur
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Good luck, Waqas. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Take care, Waqas. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
