Help Olumide get through 6 hard months with twin daughters
After the death of my husband, Olumide is raising twin daughters alone and needs $500 to stay afloat for 6 months.

After the death of my husband in May, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $290
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
• Groceries and school meals: $115
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Fort Portal
Wishing you the best, Olumide. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Rooting for you, Olumide. This could happen to any of us. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Warri.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Rooting for you, Olumide. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Kilkenny but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Takoradi.
Thinking of you and your family, Olumide. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
