Marwan is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a long illness
Marwan and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇸🇦 Riyadh, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia790 views
After a long illness in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $1,150 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $470
• Childcare and after-school care: $470
• Course fees and exam costs: $210
Thanks for reading all this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Riyadh!
Thank you. If you're in Riyadh I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

It's all in the list in the story. groceries and school meals is the big one at $470, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
