After a divorce in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $95
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Bola. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ikeja
Sending good thoughts, Bola. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. After 9 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Ikeja
Rooting for you, Bola. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page
