Back on our feet: Emilio and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Irapuato
Emilio and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇲🇽 Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico1,754 views
Last April I went through a divorce, and 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 bookkeeper 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $540
• Childcare and after-school care: $480
• Groceries and school meals: $340
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Irapuato.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent top-up, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Good luck, Emilio. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Cầu Giấy donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Cầu Giấy.
Praying for you, Emilio. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
