This Nigerian family, with two young boys, have come over to Scotland to study. As well as studying, they are working to make ends meet, but have been surprised that their working skills in Nigeria haven't been transferrable here. They work long hours at low paid jobs in order to pay their expensive rent on a very small flat. The high cost of utility bills has surprised them and they need a bit of help to manage this through these cold months. They are incredibly grateful and humbled by this help. Thanks! 😊
Still £190 left to donate
Total needed £200This couple, who have twins girls aged two, are from Nigeria and studying in Scotland. They have spent all they had to get here, and are having to work constantly in order to make ends meet and care for their young daughters. They have no other support for childcare. Mum cleans in the daytime and works nights at low paid jobs to cover the cost of living. Some extra help towards gas and electricity bills would really see them through this winter season when they are struggling with the cold. They are so thankful for your help.
