Help Cristian get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
A single parent in Madrid needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Cristian retrains.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain1,743 views
Last June 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $580
• Childcare and after-school care: $790
• Groceries and school meals: $370
• Course fees and exam costs: $360
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
