Back on our feet: Hauwa and three children under 9 in Abuja
After a long illness, Hauwa is raising three children under 9 alone and needs $350 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Last February I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 May, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Hauwa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Wrocław.
