Yesterday, admission, uniforms, and some basic needs were covered for the two children of the lady in this picture so they can start school next week.
She often comes alone to the seaside at Kokrobite. One day, after a conversation, it became clear she was depressed. When asked if she would like to learn a skill, she agreed. She is now being trained for free, but life remains very hard for her.
Because of the children, she struggles to focus fully during training. Even when clients are being attended to, the kids make it difficult for her to concentrate. The only time she manages is when someone else holds the children, which isn’t often.
At the moment, Marigold Hope Foundation is struggling and unable to support her. The children’s admission has already been sorted out, but much more is needed. Their school fees are GHS 400 each (total 800 GHS), and their daily feeding fee is GHS 20 for both children (10 GHS each).
Their living situation is also difficult. Their rent is due, and the landlord is asking them to leave. A single room with a porch (toilet and bath outside) has been found for GHS 200 per month. For two years it’s GHS 4,800, but the landlord is willing to accept one year upfront, GHS 2,400.
We are therefore soliciting support on her behalf. Any help will go a long way in easing her burden.
WHAT SHE NEEDS RIGHT NOW:
Someone to cover the children’s daily feeding (GHS 20 / $1.66 per day)
GHS 800 for school fees ($71.72)
School shoes and bags for a 4-year-old and a 1½-year-old (used ones are welcome)
Pampers, school essentials, and other basic needs
Support for rent (GHS 2,400 for one year / $199.20)
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. ❤️
