Help Babatunde get through 3 hard months with two young children
Babatunde and two young children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world958 views
Since a divorce in October, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $250
• Childcare and after-school care: $110
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
With deep gratitude,
Babatunde

Wishing you the best, Babatunde. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 33 people at work
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Babatunde.
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Babatunde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Heliopolis
Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Houston
You're not alone, Babatunde. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
