Back on our feet: Theophilus and twin daughters in Cape Coast

Theophilus and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Cape Coast
Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $350 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $100 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 • Rent top-up: $145 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Theophilus

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cape Coast!

      Thank you. If you're in Cape Coast I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
