Back on our feet: Esteban and three children under 8 in Madrid
A single father in Madrid needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Esteban retrains.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain554 views
After a sudden redundancy in February, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 May, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $760
• Rent top-up: $970
• Course fees and exam costs: $370
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Esteban. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace, Esteban. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 25 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
