Athumani is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a house fire
Athumani and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya183 views
After a house fire in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 July, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $220
• Childcare and after-school care: $145
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, Athumani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
Sending love, Athumani. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Keep going, Athumani. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
