Help Okello get through 4 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Okello and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last March I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 July, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
