Last May I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $300 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Upendo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Kasarani.
