Ikeja
Last July I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 September, 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 $400 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $55 • Childcare and after-school care: $200 • Groceries and school meals: $145 I hope life is good to you.

  • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Cape Coast.

    • Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in New Delhi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Ikeja.
