Help Gbenga get through 3 hard months with three children under 7
After my partner leaving, Gbenga is raising three children under 7 alone and needs $500 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Since my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
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:
• Rent top-up: $185
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Praying for you, Gbenga. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
