Riaan is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a house fire
A single father in Bloemfontein needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Riaan retrains.

Last March I went through a house fire, and 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $700 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Rent top-up: $390
• Groceries and school meals: $150
Thanks for being kind about this.
