Back on our feet: Antonio and twin daughters in Cali
After my partner leaving, Antonio is raising twin daughters alone and needs $1,100 to stay afloat for 4 months.

After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $440
• Childcare and after-school care: $240
• Groceries and school meals: $230
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Antonio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Take care, Antonio. Looking forward to the next update.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Iași
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Nashville.
praying for you, Antonio. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
