Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 October, 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 $300 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $60
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Rent top-up: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

how is Khalid doing now?
your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Khalid?
Thank you. If you're in Lahore I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Auckland
Sending strength, Khalid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Praying for you, Khalid. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Girona.
