Back on our feet: Ifeoma and three children under 9 in Ogbomosho
A single parent in Ogbomosho needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Ifeoma retrains.

Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $250
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $80

how is Ifeoma doing now?
shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from New Delhi
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Ifeoma. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
wishing you the best, Ifeoma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Warangal!
Wishing you peace, Ifeoma. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Ogbomosho
stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Hyderabad!
Best of luck, Ifeoma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Tallahassee but we're thinking of you.
