Back on our feet: Guadalupe and three children under 8 in San Diego

Guadalupe and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last June I went through a house fire, and 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $3,400 goes: โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $640 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $760 โ€ข Rent top-up: $2,000 Glad we found this place.

    How is Guadalupe doing now?

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care

      • Mohan H. Chettiar

        So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

        • Alina Daniela Zamfir

          take care, Guadalupe. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.

          • Karim Osama Nabulsi

            Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
