Muthoni is a single parent of four children - help us after a house fire
Muthoni and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in April, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $135
Thank you so much.

good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
