Buenos Aires
Last June I went through a long illness, 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 dental nurse 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 $600 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $120 • Rent top-up: $340 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
