After a divorce, Efe is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $450 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last December I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 March, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $75
• Course fees and exam costs: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thank you all. We're at 66% now ($298). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

Stay strong, Efe. This could happen to any of us. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Greetings from London
Hope things get better soon, Efe. I hope things turn around soon.
