A single mother in Kampala needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Mercy retrains.

Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $300 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $80
• Rent top-up: $175
• Course fees and exam costs: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
