Back on our feet: Daniel and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Lagos
After the death of my husband, Daniel is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $400 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Since the death of my husband in October, 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 a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
I hope life is good to you.
