Back on our feet: Obinna and four children in Ogbomosho

Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $150 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Obinna
