Shakil is a single parent of three children under 9 - help us after a sudden redundancy
Shakil and three children under 9 need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh783 views
Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $130
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
you're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
