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

  1. Thank you all. We're at 65% now ($3,301). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent top-up.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
