Last May I went through a divorce, and 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 teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $85
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
If you're reading this, thank you.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Veracruz so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Lagos.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
