About
My name is Lawal, and I'm from Nigeria. I’ve recently found myself in a very difficult financial situation due to a combination of unfortunate events, including falling victim to a scam. However, what truly exacerbated my struggles was the lack of job opportunities in my area, making it extremely hard to generate income.

Why I Can’t Earn Enough Money Right Now:
Nigeria’s job market is incredibly challenging. The unemployment rate in my region is around 33%, and many people struggle to find stable work, especially without formal education or connections. I have been trying to secure work, but opportunities are limited, and wages are extremely low. For example, even entry-level jobs often pay less than ₦30,000 ($20) per month minimum wage, which barely covers the cost of living.
Currently, I am not studying or enrolled in any formal training because I haven’t had the funds to do so. I plan to change this once my basic needs are secured, but right now, I need to focus on survival and repaying my debts.

How Your Donations Will Be Used:
1. Living Expenses: This includes rent, utilities, and groceries to ensure I have a stable and safe living environment.
- Rent: ₦100,000(70$) per year(annum) (I will share copies of receipts and lease agreements) once I'm able to secure a single room self contain.
- Utilities: ₦20,000 (water, electricity).
- Groceries: ₦20,000 for food staples like rice, beans, and vegetables i.e Tomatoes and pepper (I will share weekly expenses).

2. Debt Repayment: Funds will be used to repay debts incurred due to the scam. The total debt is ₦180,000 (I'll provide evidence of the debts).

3. Education and Skills Development: I plan to invest in skill-building training (shoe making) to be able to stand on my own making shoes and palms. This would enable me to become self-sufficient. Training fees and learning materials are estimated at ₦50,000.


Why Transparency Matters:

I want to ensure all donors feel confident in how their contributions are being used. I’ll provide:
- Receipts for all purchases made using the funds.
- Updates on living expenses and how donations are helping me to stabilize.
- Proof of debt repayment, so you can see where your money is going.

Living Conditions in My Area:

The average cost of living in my region is moderate, with rent for a modest apartment typically costing ₦10,000 per month, while basic utilities cost around ₦20,000 monthly. With inflation rising, the cost of groceries like rice and fish has increased, now costing ₦10,000 weekly.

Next Steps:
Your donation will help me get back on my feet by:
- Ensuring my basic needs are met.
- Helping me clear debts and avoid further financial troubles.
- Allowing me to invest in education that will enable me to secure a stable income.

Thank you for considering supporting my journey. I’ll ensure complete transparency, share regular updates, and use your contributions wisely to overcome these challenges.

Update:
Thank you all for your donations, I bought a whole month worth of foodstuffs and also internet subscription.
I got a scholarship to learn 3D animation and post production. I also got a job(1 year, I hope it gets extended).
