Help Chinedu get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
After a house fire, Chinedu is raising twin daughters alone and needs $650 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Since a house fire in February, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 May, 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: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out, Chinedu. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Epe.
