After a divorce, Bridget is raising twin daughters alone and needs $2,750 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 November, 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 $2,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $610
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Bridget. Hope this works out for you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Tarkwa but we're thinking of you
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Love from Badagry.
