Last August I went through a house fire, and 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 December, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $290
• Childcare and after-school care: $470
• Groceries and school meals: $200
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Flávio. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
