Back on our feet: Diana and two young children in Kumasi
After the death of my husband, Diana is raising two young children alone and needs $350 to stay afloat for 4 months.
🇬🇭 Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana744 views
Last September I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
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:
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
• Groceries and school meals: $145
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you peace, Diana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Cologne this morning.
Thinking of you, Diana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Diana. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
sending good thoughts, Diana. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from İzmir
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kumasi
Sending strength, Diana. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Sending strength, Diana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Howrah
