After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 March, 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $230 • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $100 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Maliha

  1. Update from Dwarka: I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
