Hello Good everyone,
I’ve been going back and forth about writing this because it’s not easy to open up like this, but I don’t have many options left.
I’m a single mother living in Dubai. I lost my job recently due to circumstances related to the war, and since then, I’ve been trying everything I can to stay afloat. I’ve applied for jobs, reached out to people, and done my best to stay strong but right now, I’m struggling just to meet basic needs for myself and my child.
There are days and as of today, I worry about how I’m going to feed my child and myself. I’ve cut back on everything, but it’s still not enough. Rent is past due for 11 days now and I have been asked to vacate the small space we live in by tomorrow if we can’t make up the rent and I’m genuinely scared of losing the little stability we have left with my child been my outmost concern as a mother.
I never imagined I would be in a position where I have to ask strangers for help, but I’m at a point where I can’t do this alone anymore.
If anyone is able to help in any way, or even a place where my child could sleep or feel at home will be much appreciated whiles I figure things out, any help towards food and keeping a roof over our heads or specifically my child would mean everything to me.
I am open to work on roles such as admin, customer service, data entry, anything at all to be able to afford shelter and common meals for my child.
Information about support or charities in Dubai will be much appreciated as well even tho we’ve reached out to respectful entities and our embassy but they all follow structured process and every minutes that ticks away feels like a holocaust to me and for my child.
I’m willing to work hard and rebuild, I just need a support structure or help to get through this temporal moment.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for any kindness you can show.. I am at a point where I feel like giving up my child because I have failed as a mother.
Thank you All for your attention and I hope for the best.
