Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 September, 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $310 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $85 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Rooting for you, Kunle. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Kano

      keep going, Kunle. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Liverpool

          Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
