Support for a single mother after the death of my husband
Rima and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh765 views
After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $220
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $40
Thank you so much.

Any update on how things are going in Gazipur?
Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Ikeja so I could bring a meal.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
