After the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Groceries and school meals: $190
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts, Njoroge. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Embakasi
Hope it all works out, Njoroge. Hope this works out for you. I hope July is when things finally get easier. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Chiang Mai but we're thinking of you
You're not alone, Njoroge. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from London.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Kanpur this morning. Thinking of Embakasi.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Anaheim donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Sending strength, Njoroge. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 13 people at work
Keep going, Njoroge. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
sending love, Njoroge. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
