Cairo
Last February 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 hairdresser, 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 May, 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 $600 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $160 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 • Rent top-up: $325 With deep gratitude, Ziad

Updates from Ziad

  1. Quick update: $260 raised so far (43%). I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Cairo: we've started the first stage. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
