Since a long illness in May, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 September, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $95
• Course fees and exam costs: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out

Hang in there, Nkechi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Awka.
Rooting for you, Nkechi. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Nkechi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Mumbai.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Awka.
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
