Last August I went through a house fire, and 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 an electrician 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kunle?
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Take care, Kunle. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best!
