Wekesa is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after the death of my husband
Wekesa and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in August, 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 November, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $290
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.
