Back on our feet: Raphaël and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Fez
Raphaël and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇲🇦 Morocco1,178 views
After my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $480
• Childcare and after-school care: $120
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thanks for sharing this, Raphaël. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Jaipur.
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 13 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Fez
Sending strength, Raphaël. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Pretoria.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Fez.
Thank you. If you're in Fez I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck, Raphaël. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Thane but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Raphaël. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 38 people at work. Love from Vadodara.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
