Back on our feet: Leonardo and four children in Bergamo
Leonardo and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇮🇹 Italy1,914 views
Since my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 June, 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 $2,550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $740
• Childcare and after-school care: $890
• Groceries and school meals: $410
• Course fees and exam costs: $510
With deep gratitude,
Leonardo

You're not alone, Leonardo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Madina this morning. Love from Madina.
