After a long illness in July, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mukono.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent top-up, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Durban
