Back on our feet: Alejandra and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Celaya
A single parent in Celaya needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Alejandra retrains.
🇲🇽 Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico2,132 views
Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $360
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
With deep gratitude,
Alejandra

Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Epe donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Stay strong, Alejandra. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Tampa.
Thinking of you and your family, Alejandra. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. Greetings from Manila
