Back on our feet: Grace and four children in Kasarani
Grace and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya504 views
Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $400 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
• Groceries and school meals: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.
