Back on our feet: Wanjiru and twin daughters in Arusha
Wanjiru and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇹🇿 Tanzania1,056 views
Last July I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 September, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
Thank you for reading my story.
- Wanjiru

Praying for you, Wanjiru. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Buffalo donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
