Back on our feet: Amelia and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in San Antonio
After my partner leaving, Amelia is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $4,600 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last July I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $770
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,450
• Rent top-up: $2,380
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Amelia. Shared this with my family.
Sending love, Amelia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Amelia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted.
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Barranquilla so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Amelia. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
You're not alone, Amelia. Shared it with a few friends.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Montpellier.
Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Best of luck, Amelia. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Blessings.
