After my partner leaving, Andrés is raising three children under 11 alone and needs $900 to stay afloat for 6 months.

After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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:
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Childcare and after-school care: $250
• Rent top-up: $400
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Andrés. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
you're not alone, Andrés. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 20 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
