Back on our feet: Salvador and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Tehuacán

After the death of my husband, Salvador is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $1,400 to stay afloat for 5 months.

After the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $1,400 goes: • Rent top-up: $680 • Childcare and after-school care: $350 • Groceries and school meals: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $160 I hope life is good to you.
