Giorgia is a single parent of two young children - help us after a sudden redundancy
A single father in Latina needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Giorgia retrains.
🇮🇹 Lazio, Italy2,624 views
Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $1,900 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $670
• Rent top-up: $920
• Course fees and exam costs: $310
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 Giorgia.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. groceries and school meals is the biggest at $670. Thanks, that means a lot.
Take care, Giorgia. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Chennai.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Thinking of you and your family, Giorgia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Take care, Giorgia. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
thinking of you, Giorgia. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
