Help Ekow get through 6 hard months with two young children
After my partner leaving, Ekow is raising two young children alone and needs $600 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Since my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Ekow. This could happen to any of us
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Tamale.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ekow?
Thank you. If you're in Tamale I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this, Ekow. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Tamale.
