Back on our feet: Carlos and twin daughters in Córdoba
After the death of my husband, Carlos is raising twin daughters alone and needs $1,150 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $560
• Childcare and after-school care: $270
• Groceries and school meals: $200
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
