Back on our feet: Seyi and two young children in Nsukka

After the death of my husband in May, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $350 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Eldoret.
Wishing you peace, Seyi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
You're not alone, Seyi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
