After a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 December, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $185
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
If you're reading this, thank you.

you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Sending strength, Mwangi. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
