Since the death of my husband in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $200
• Childcare and after-school care: $145
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Uchenna!
Rent top-up is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Best of luck, Uchenna. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Uchenna. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Peshawar!
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
good luck, Uchenna. Hope you get there!
Praying for you, Uchenna. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
