Back on our feet: Lourdes and four children in San Nicolás de los Garza

Last April I went through my partner leaving, and 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $1,150 goes: • Rent top-up: $440 • Childcare and after-school care: $330 • Groceries and school meals: $160 • Course fees and exam costs: $220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Praying for you, Lourdes. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Maringá donated after I showed her your page

        Hope it all works out, Lourdes. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

          You're not alone, Lourdes. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

            take care, Lourdes. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
