Back on our feet: Alejandra and four children in Mar del Plata
A single father in Mar del Plata needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Alejandra retrains.
🇦🇷 Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina610 views
Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 November, 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 $700 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $190
• Rent top-up: $330
• Course fees and exam costs: $180

Thanks for sharing this, Alejandra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Bordeaux this morning. Greetings from Bordeaux.
Sending strength, Alejandra. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up
Praying for you, Alejandra. Hope you get there.
Good luck, Alejandra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Ho.
