Last May 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 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $290
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Nabirye. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Magelang.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nabirye?
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Mbale
Wishing you the best, Nabirye. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Keep going, Nabirye. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
