Back on our feet: Nuria and twin daughters in Zapopan

Nuria and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Zapopan
After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $1,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $500 • Childcare and after-school care: $260 • Groceries and school meals: $310 • Course fees and exam costs: $280 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Nuria

Updates from Nuria

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($511 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Zapopan: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 14% funded and I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. - Nuria

    Wishing you the best, Nuria. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Zapopan.

    • Juliana Xavier

      Good luck, Nuria. Hope this works out for you.

      • Diana Vera Kovalchuk

        Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
