Back on our feet: Kunle and four children in Kaduna
After a sudden redundancy, Kunle is raising four children alone and needs $750 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Since a sudden redundancy in January, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Kunle. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope things get better soon, Kunle. Looking forward to the next update. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Kaduna.
