After a long illness in September, I'm now raising three children under 7 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $450
• Course fees and exam costs: $600
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Tlaquepaque.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Nizamabad but we're thinking of you.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Bloemfontein donated after I showed her your page
good luck, Alberto. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted. All the best.
