Back on our feet: Salvador and two young children in Monterrey
Salvador and two young children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
Anywhere in the world949 views
Since a house fire in November, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 March, 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 $750 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $460
• Groceries and school meals: $190
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Salvador. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Monterrey.
Wishing you peace, Salvador. Hope you get there. All the best
Sending strength, Salvador. Shared it with a few friends. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Love from Bacoor
hope it all works out, Salvador. Hope this works out for you. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Salvador. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
