Help Edgardo get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
Edgardo and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇵🇭 Philippines2,057 views
After a sudden redundancy in March, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $190
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Edgardo.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($320) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Quezon City.
Keep going, Edgardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
hope it all works out, Edgardo. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
praying for you, Edgardo. Hope this works out for you. Take care!
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Strasbourg so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Giza.
Take care, Edgardo. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope things get better soon, Edgardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out, Edgardo. Shared this with my family.
