Help Zainab get through 4 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Zainab and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hang in there, Zainab. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you the best, Zainab. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Erie
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lahore.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. After 6 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
