Last July I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,600
• Childcare and after-school care: $930
• Groceries and school meals: $370
• Course fees and exam costs: $200
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
How is Federica doing now?
Hope it all works out, Federica. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Rosario donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Federica?
Thank you. If you're in Rome I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this, Federica. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Rome.
Sending love, Federica. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Rome.
I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
