Since a divorce in September, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $750 goes: • Rent top-up: $240 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $175 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Orlando

  • Thinking of you, Orlando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.

    • Sending strength, Orlando. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mbarara.
