Help Chukwuemeka get through 3 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Chukwuemeka and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,487 views
After a sudden redundancy in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Childcare and after-school care: $120
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Chukwuemeka. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
praying for you, Chukwuemeka. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
