After the death of my husband in December, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Course fees and exam costs: $145
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Damilola
Update from Epe: I made the first payment toward rent top-up. We're at 32% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($83). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.
