Olumide is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after the death of my husband
After the death of my husband, Olumide is raising twin daughters alone and needs $450 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Since the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Rent top-up: $170
Glad we found this place.
