Qasim is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a long illness
Qasim and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in October, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 January, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $145
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Riyadh.
Thinking of you and your family, Qasim. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
