Laurent is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after the death of my husband
Laurent and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $3,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $600
• Groceries and school meals: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Laurent. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Nîmes.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Thika so I could bring a meal. God bless.
