Back on our feet: Ifeoma and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Nnewi
Ifeoma and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,139 views
After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 October, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
With deep gratitude,
Ifeoma

Sending love, Ifeoma. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Good luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Rooting for you, Ifeoma. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Hope you get there. Thinking of Nnewi
Take care, Ifeoma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 20 people at work
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Spokane
