Back on our feet: Barasa and three children under 11 in Kinondoni
Barasa and three children under 11 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇹🇿 Tanzania921 views
After a house fire in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $130
• Rent top-up: $260
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Barasa
Small update. $219 so far, I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.
43% there. the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
