Back on our feet: Silvia and four children in San Jose
Silvia and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇺🇸 United States1,299 views
Last March I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,450
• Course fees and exam costs: $520
• Groceries and school meals: $680
I hope life is good to you.
