Back on our feet: Henry and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Ikeja
After the death of my husband, Henry is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $550 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Last April I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 July, 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 $550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Rent top-up: $310
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
