Back on our feet: Elena and four children in Tijuana
Elena and four children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,043 views
After a divorce 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $330
• Groceries and school meals: $320
• Course fees and exam costs: $170
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
