Back on our feet: Odhiambo and two young children in Kasarani
Odhiambo and two young children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya276 views
Since a long illness in June, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 August, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Odhiambo
Update from Kasarani: I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Best of luck, Odhiambo. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up.
