Back on our feet: Diego and four children in Coyoacán

After a sudden redundancy, Diego is raising four children alone and needs $600 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last January I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 April, 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 $600 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $110 • Childcare and after-school care: $270 • Groceries and school meals: $220 Thanks for reading all this.

    Would recommend to anyone

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Hope it all works out, Diego. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care

      Hope things get better soon, Diego. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Odesa

          So sorry you're going through this, Diego. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Riverside.
