Back on our feet: Abosede and two young children in Kano
After my partner leaving, Abosede is raising two young children alone and needs $650 to stay afloat for 6 months.
🇳🇬 Kano, Kano, Nigeria924 views
Last February I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $300
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Abosede
Update from Kano: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 37% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($229 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Awka so I could bring a meal. All the best
Keep going, Abosede. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 25 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending love, Abosede. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you.
hope it all works out, Abosede. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Londrina.
