After the death of my husband in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $155 โ€ข Rent top-up: $290 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $105 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Childcare and after-school care is $155 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

  • Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Port Harcourt

    • Praying for you, Ngozika. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.

      • Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 3 people at work. God bless
