Santa Fe
After a long illness in January, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 June, 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 $1,050 goes: • Rent top-up: $350 • Childcare and after-school care: $195 • Groceries and school meals: $300 • Course fees and exam costs: $205 Thanks for reading all this. - Eduardo

    stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Santa Fe

      rooting for you, Eduardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

      • Kendall H. Parks

        sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Love from Nashik.
