A Coruña
After a long illness in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 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 $2,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,250 • Childcare and after-school care: $790 • Groceries and school meals: $350 • Course fees and exam costs: $260 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Marcos
