Help Kelvin get through 6 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Kelvin and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana499 views
Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 December, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $150
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($17 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and the first invoice got paid this week. - Kelvin
