Back on our feet: Auma and twin daughters in Mukono

After a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 September, 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 $450 goes: • Rent top-up: $145 • Childcare and after-school care: $150 • Groceries and school meals: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
