Omolara is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a divorce
Omolara and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria706 views
Since a divorce in May, 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 bookkeeper 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $500 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $95
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Rent top-up: $320
I hope life is good to you.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Dammam this morning. Greetings from Dammam.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
How is Omolara doing now?
