Last November I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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 February, 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 $3,150 goes: • Rent top-up: $800 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,200 • Groceries and school meals: $670 • Course fees and exam costs: $480 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Stay strong, Saeed. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

            Keep going, Saeed. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
