After the death of my husband, Eva is raising twin daughters alone and needs $4,000 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last September I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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 $4,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $820
• Groceries and school meals: $690
• Course fees and exam costs: $790
Every share and every dollar helps.

thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
you're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eva!
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Hope things get better soon, Eva. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Lagos.
Sending love, Eva. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Praying for you, Eva. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
