Since a divorce 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,100
• Childcare and after-school care: $410
• Groceries and school meals: $380
• Course fees and exam costs: $410
With deep gratitude,
Tariq

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Granada.
Thank you. If you're in Granada I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Tariq. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Sending strength, Tariq. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from San Diego.
Hope things get better soon, Tariq. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts, Tariq. Gave what I could, wish it was more
