Help Carlos get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
After my partner leaving, Carlos is raising twin daughters alone and needs $1,000 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last May I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 July, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $410
• Childcare and after-school care: $330
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
