After my partner leaving, Funmilayo is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $400 to stay afloat for 4 months.

After my partner leaving in October, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 January, 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:
• Rent top-up: $150
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
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, Funmilayo. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Saket donated after I showed her your page.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Nairobi!
