Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $75
• Rent top-up: $140
• Groceries and school meals: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Badagry so I could bring a meal
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
how is Amani doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Amani. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Cambridge this morning. God bless.
you're not alone, Amani. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 39 people at work. Thinking of Kampala
