Mugisha is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a long illness
A single father in Embakasi needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Mugisha retrains.
🇰🇪 00540, Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya2,315 views
After a long illness in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 November, 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 $400 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
• Rent top-up: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $105
With deep gratitude,
Mugisha

Hang in there, Mugisha. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Embakasi.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mugisha?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about childcare and after-school care, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Busan.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Awka.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Los Angeles.
