A single father in Cartagena needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Araceli retrains.

Last September I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 December, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $310
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kharkiv.
Sending strength, Araceli. I hope things turn around soon.
Sending strength, Araceli. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
