Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $220
• Childcare and after-school care: $95
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
With deep gratitude,
Wangari

Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mumbai
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Anaheim
