After a divorce in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,450
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Course fees and exam costs: $600
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Nakuru so I could bring a meal. Take care
