Alejandra and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $290
• Rent top-up: $540
• Course fees and exam costs: $170
If you're reading this, thank you.

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

Rooting for you, Alejandra. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Athens.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Obuasi.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.
You're not alone, Alejandra. I hope things turn around soon
