Help Hauwa get through 4 hard months with three children under 10
After a house fire, Hauwa is raising three children under 10 alone and needs $400 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since a house fire in September, I'm now raising three children under 10 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $400 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
• Rent top-up: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $125
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Hauwa
Wanted to say thank you properly. 83% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($195 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hauwa
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. childcare and after-school care comes first ($105) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you the best, Hauwa. Hope you get there.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Kyoto.
