Back on our feet: Ramón and four children in Alcalá de Henares

A single parent in Alcalá de Henares needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Ramón retrains.

Alcalá de Henares
Since my partner leaving in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 August, 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 $2,550 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $720 • Rent top-up: $1,400 • Groceries and school meals: $430 Every share and every dollar helps.
