Back on our feet: Nicolás and three children under 10 in Tehuacán
Nicolás and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 10 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $750 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $240
• Rent top-up: $290
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
hope it all works out, Nicolás. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
Sending love, Nicolás. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Utrecht
Sending love, Nicolás. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Nicolás. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Nicolás. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Mangaluru.
Hope it all works out, Nicolás. Shared this with my family. Love from Ribeirão Preto
Thinking of you, Nicolás. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Tehuacán.
