Medellín

Since my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $800 goes: • Rent top-up: $470 • Childcare and after-school care: $190 • Course fees and exam costs: $140 I hope life is good to you. - Consuelo

You're not alone, Consuelo. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
