Help Eduardo get through 3 hard months with two young children
Eduardo and two young children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇺🇸 United States944 views
Since a long illness in September, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $730
• Groceries and school meals: $970
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Joliet.
