Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $570
• Groceries and school meals: $830
• Rent top-up: $850
Thank you so much.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Onitsha but we're thinking of you. Love from Onitsha
Hope it all works out, Sebastián. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
You're not alone, Sebastián. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Seville.
rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Seville.

Good luck, Sebastián. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Tangier.
