Back on our feet: Patricia and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Córdoba
A single parent in Córdoba needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Patricia retrains.
🇦🇷 Córdoba, Córdoba, Argentina535 views
Last February I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, 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 April, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $510
• Childcare and after-school care: $260
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Course fees and exam costs: $180
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Patricia
Good news. Because of your gifts ($282 in total) the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
