Emiliano is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after the death of my husband
Emiliano and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,400
• Groceries and school meals: $710
• Course fees and exam costs: $290
Thank you so much.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Thanks for sharing this, Emiliano. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Aswan so I could bring a meal. Take care.

Take care. I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 30 people at work. Take care.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Poznań.
Hope you get there. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Los Angeles
