After a sudden redundancy in April, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $1,800 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $570 • Childcare and after-school care: $850 • Course fees and exam costs: $380 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Arturo

  1. Quick update: $1,270 raised so far (71%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($686 in total) the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        Rooting for you, Arturo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Orlando.
