After the death of my husband in November, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 January, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. God bless
best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update
you're not alone, Yinka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Keep going, Yinka. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in İzmir this morning. All the best
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 4 people at work
So sorry you're going through this, Yinka. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 16 people at work. Greetings from Nashik.
Rooting for you, Yinka. Hope you get there. After 14 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Juiz de Fora.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best!
Thinking of you, Yinka. Shared this with my family.
Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
Sending good thoughts, Yinka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from San Francisco!
