Help Lilian get through 5 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
A single mother in Lagos needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Lilian retrains.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,623 views
Since a divorce in June, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 September, 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 $750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
