Last July I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Jonathan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 4 people at work. Love from Abuja
You're not alone, Jonathan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
