Help Ronke get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
After a sudden redundancy, Ronke is raising twin daughters alone and needs $500 to stay afloat for 5 months.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria262 views
After a sudden redundancy in October, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, 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 February, 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: $290
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Ronke
Small update. $35 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Ronke
Update from Ikeja: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Ikeja.
hope it all works out, Ronke. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
