Back on our feet: Inés and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Xalapa

After a divorce in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $800 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $180 • Rent top-up: $360 • Childcare and after-school care: $260 I hope life is good to you.
