Back on our feet: Rodrigo and four children in Córdoba
After a house fire, Rodrigo is raising four children alone and needs $900 to stay afloat for 4 months.
🇦🇷 Córdoba, Argentina1,787 views
Since a house fire in January, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $320
• Groceries and school meals: $240
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Boulogne-Billancourt donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Best of luck, Rodrigo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rodrigo
Rent top-up is $240 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Córdoba
Thank you. If you're in Córdoba I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope it all works out, Rodrigo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Keep going, Rodrigo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Córdoba
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Manila.
