Help Wambui get through 4 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old

Wambui and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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: • Groceries and school meals: $125 • Childcare and after-school care: $85 • Rent top-up: $290 Thanks for being kind about this. - Wambui

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Wambui?

      Thank you. If you're in Dar es Salaam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

    You're not alone, Wambui. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.

    • Étienne René Moulin

      Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

        Praying for you, Wambui. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
