Back on our feet: Olumide and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Badagry
Olumide and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 October, 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: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $95
• Groceries and school meals: $80
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
Thanks for being kind about this.
