Back on our feet: Patricia and three children under 9 in Guadalupe

Last January I went through a divorce, 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 bookkeeper 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 $1,450 goes: • Rent top-up: $710 • Childcare and after-school care: $200 • Groceries and school meals: $300 • Course fees and exam costs: $240 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
