Mubashir is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a house fire
Mubashir and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan1,312 views
Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
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: $70
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.

thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Aurangabad but we're thinking of you. Take care
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Thinking of Faisalabad.
Hope things get better soon, Mubashir. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Faisalabad.
