Nafula is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a sudden redundancy
Nafula and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kisumu, Kenya965 views
Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $440
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $190
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nafula
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $440, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this, Nafula. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
