Back on our feet: Pablo and two young children in Valencia

Pablo and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Valencia
Since the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $2,300 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $810 • Groceries and school meals: $550 • Rent top-up: $940 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • hang in there, Pablo. Your post was clear and honest

    • Sending strength, Pablo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          You're not alone, Pablo. Hope this works out for you.

          • Praying for you, Pablo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up

            • Thinking of you, Pablo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.

              • Keep going, Pablo. Hope you get there. Thinking of Valencia!

                • Sending strength, Pablo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Dehiwala.

                  • Praying for you, Pablo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 30 people at work. Love from Shinjuku
