Back on our feet: Janet and two young children in Kampala
Janet and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda132 views
Since the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Janet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
wishing you the best, Janet. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Hyderabad this morning.
Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
