After the death of my husband in January, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 May, 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 $400 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $135 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 • Rent top-up: $170 Thanks for being kind about this. - Daniel

  • Rooting for you, Daniel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Daniel.

        Childcare and after-school care is $135 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.

    • Stay strong, Daniel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

      • Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Accra.

        • so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

          • Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Accra
