After the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 September, 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: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

111% there. we've started the first stage. Thank you.
We're at 72% thanks to 11 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($249 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Epe
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. God bless.
hope things get better soon, Yetunde. Your post was clear and honest.
Wishing you the best, Yetunde. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Rochester this morning. Thinking of Epe.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Zaria.
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Melbourne donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Epe.
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Biratnagar.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
