Help Folake get through 3 hard months with four children
Folake and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,991 views
Last April I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $500 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Folake. Gave what I could, wish it was more
I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
