A Coruña
Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising four children 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 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 $2,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,350 • Groceries and school meals: $480 • Course fees and exam costs: $520 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
