Back on our feet: Salvador and twin daughters in Cartagena

Salvador and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Cartagena
After a sudden redundancy in January, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 April, 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: $310 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $310 • Course fees and exam costs: $50 Thank you for reading my story.
