Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $380
• Course fees and exam costs: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Mwende. I hope things turn around soon
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 12 people at work. Blessings
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Eindhoven
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mwende
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $380. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope things get better soon, Mwende. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care!
Praying for you, Mwende. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 26 people at work. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Thủ Đức
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Kikuyu
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong, Mwende. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Kharkiv.
