Maryam and three children under 12 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

After a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $1,600 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $500
• Course fees and exam costs: $350
• Rent top-up: $750
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength, Maryam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Casablanca this morning. Thinking of Mecca
Stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
