After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Obuasi!
Thank you. If you're in Obuasi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you peace, Theresa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Saint Paul.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Iztapalapa.
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Obuasi.
