After the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $250 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $90 • Course fees and exam costs: $50 • Groceries and school meals: $110 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Jannat

Updates from Jannat

  1. Update from Rajshahi: the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
