After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising two young children 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 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Malmö this morning. All the best.
Thinking of you, Kunle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kunle
Rent top-up is $230 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
you're not alone, Kunle. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Lagos
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Düsseldorf.
Sending love, Kunle. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Riyadh
Sending love, Kunle. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Praying for you, Kunle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Tlaquepaque so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Kunle. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Aurangabad but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
