Keith is a single parent of three children under 5 - help us after a long illness
Keith and three children under 5 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 Savannah, Georgia, United States5,499 views
After a long illness in July, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $5,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,650
• Groceries and school meals: $820
• Course fees and exam costs: $530
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Keith
Thank you all. We're at 65% now ($3,301). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent top-up.
Update from Savannah: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 42% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 19% funded and the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.

Sending strength, Keith. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Ibadan donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
