Back on our feet: Pablo and three children under 9 in Tehuacán
After a long illness, Pablo is raising three children under 9 alone and needs $750 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Last October I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $750 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
• Childcare and after-school care: $280
• Rent top-up: $360
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
