Efua is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a house fire
Efua and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in August, 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 an electrician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $300 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
• Groceries and school meals: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Efua. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless.
Keep going, Efua. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Ho!
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Ho
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Efua. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Rooting for you, Efua. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
