Back on our feet: Irene and two young children in Barranquilla
A single parent in Barranquilla needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Irene retrains.

Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $600 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Rent top-up: $275
Thanks for reading all this.
