Help Khadija get through 5 hard months with three children under 12
A single father in Port Harcourt needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Khadija retrains.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria1,048 views
After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $120
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Port Harcourt
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent top-up, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Khadija.
Sure. The biggest one is rent top-up, $260. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Take care. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Mumbai.

Wishing you peace, Khadija. Your post was clear and honest.
Take care, Khadija. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.

Sending good thoughts, Khadija. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Sheffield this morning. Love from Sheffield.
