Help Diego get through 5 hard months with three children under 10
A single parent in Worcester needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Diego retrains.

Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $1,150
• Course fees and exam costs: $520
• Rent top-up: $980
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Noida.
Thinking of you, Diego. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Diego.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. groceries and school meals comes first ($1,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Guadalupe donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Diego. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Good luck, Diego. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Worcester.
So sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
