Back on our feet: Kiptoo and two young children in Kasarani
Kiptoo and two young children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in July, 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $450 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
• Childcare and after-school care: $205
Thanks for being kind about this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kasarani.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about groceries and school meals, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Jalandhar.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kasarani.
