Back on our feet: Juan and four children in Coyoacán
Juan and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico1,833 views
Last September I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $390
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $260
• Course fees and exam costs: $150
Thank you so much.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Mwanza but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Mwanza
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Accra this morning!
hope things get better soon, Juan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up. God bless.
