Back on our feet: Romeo and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Quezon City
After the death of my husband, Romeo is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $600 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $400
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Childcare and after-school care: $110
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

Keep going, Romeo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
Take care, Romeo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
