Ángel and two young children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Alcalá de Henares
Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $2,400 goes: • Rent top-up: $730 • Childcare and after-school care: $850 • Groceries and school meals: $600 • Course fees and exam costs: $220 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ángel

Updates from Ángel

  1. Update from Alcalá de Henares: I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
