After a house fire in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $550 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $210 • Rent top-up: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Janet

Update from Dodoma: I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
