Since a sudden redundancy in January, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $450 goes: • Rent top-up: $200 • Childcare and after-school care: $75 • Groceries and school meals: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $70 Thanks for reading all this. - Kamran

Updates from Kamran

  1. Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($142). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 27% funded and the first invoice got paid this week. - Kamran

  3. Quick update: $75 raised so far (17%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
