After a house fire in November, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $420
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Dilshan. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kasarani.
Hope it all works out, Dilshan. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
