Embakasi
Since a house fire in June, I'm now raising two young 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 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $310 • Childcare and after-school care: $165 • Groceries and school meals: $120 • Course fees and exam costs: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
