Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,650
• Childcare and after-school care: $750
• Groceries and school meals: $510
• Course fees and exam costs: $290
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Mackenzie
Thank you all. We're at 58% now ($1,851). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

Thinking of you, Mackenzie. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Nairobi.
Looking forward to the next update. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
