Badagry
After a divorce in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $300 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $85 • Groceries and school meals: $110 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Daniel

Updates from Daniel

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($77 in total) the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Badagry: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $25 raised so far (8%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
