Back on our feet: Roberto and twin daughters in Tehuacán
Roberto and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇲🇽 Puebla, Mexico1,581 views
Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $450
• Course fees and exam costs: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $330
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Roberto. Hope you get there.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Tehuacán.
Sending good thoughts, Roberto. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Tehuacán.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Houston.
