Harper and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in May, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 August, 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 $3,200 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $300 • Rent top-up: $1,700 • Groceries and school meals: $1,200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Kisumu donated after I showed her your page. Blessings

      • Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

        • best of luck, Harper. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
