Back on our feet: Gabriele and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Rome

After the death of my husband, Gabriele is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $2,900 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $2,900 goes: • Rent top-up: $970 • Childcare and after-school care: $980 • Groceries and school meals: $710 • Course fees and exam costs: $240 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Gabriele
