Last April I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $600 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
• Rent top-up: $260
• Groceries and school meals: $200
Thank you for reading my story.

Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Mumbai.
Rooting for you, Francisco. This could happen to any of us. Take care
so sorry you're going through this, Francisco. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of San Nicolás de los Garza.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Cleveland.
Sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Paris.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 32 people at work. Blessings
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together
