After the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $185
• Childcare and after-school care: $130
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Henry
Small update. $111 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Obuasi: I made the first payment toward rent top-up. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $12 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
