Last January I went through my partner leaving, 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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: $260 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $90 • Course fees and exam costs: $70 Thank you for reading my story. - Nana

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nana

    • The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $260. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • Keep going, Nana. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

    • a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Greater Accra. I'll ask around and let you know!

        Best of luck, Nana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.

        • is there anything that isn't money that would help Nana?

          • Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

            • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fresno.

              • You're not alone, Nana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

                • Praying for you, Nana. This could happen to any of us

                  • Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
