Back on our feet: Linda and three children under 6 in Cape Coast
After a sudden redundancy, Linda is raising three children under 6 alone and needs $550 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 June, 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 $550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $75
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Rent top-up: $265
Thanks for being kind about this.
