After a divorce in July, 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 September, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $670
• Groceries and school meals: $350
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emanuele.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. course fees and exam costs is the biggest at $330. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you the best, Emanuele. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Padua.
Thank you. If you're in Padua I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal.
Looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
You're not alone, Emanuele. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Calamba.
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Limerick but we're thinking of you. Blessings

Praying for you, Emanuele. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings

Hang in there, Emanuele. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
