Back on our feet: Gabriel and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Orlando
A single mother in Orlando needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Gabriel retrains.

Last October I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $870
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,400
• Groceries and school meals: $680
Thank you for reading my story.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Patna.
Keep going, Gabriel. Your post was clear and honest. After 24 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
