Back on our feet: Liliana and four children in Anaheim
Liliana and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States4,524 views
After a long illness in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,150
• Groceries and school meals: $670
• Course fees and exam costs: $580
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

stay strong, Liliana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Rooting for you, Liliana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
rooting for you, Liliana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hope things get better soon, Liliana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Bogotá.
wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Hope it all works out, Liliana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Kozhikode this morning
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Anaheim.
