Back on our feet: Davide and two young children in Padua
A single mother in Padua needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Davide retrains.
🇮🇹 Padua, Veneto, Italy2,536 views
After the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising two young children 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 July, 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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,750
• Childcare and after-school care: $670
• Groceries and school meals: $710
• Course fees and exam costs: $370
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
