Back on our feet: Juliet and three children under 9 in Wudil
A single parent in Wudil needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Juliet retrains.
🇳🇬 Nigeria928 views
Since a divorce in May, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 September, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $80
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Juliet
Small update. $533 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Update from Wudil: the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.

Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in San Nicolás de los Garza but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Juliet. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
looking forward to the next update. Love from Montego Bay.
hang in there, Juliet. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Orlando
