Help Gerardo get through 5 hard months with twin daughters
Gerardo and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇲🇽 Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico1,159 views
Since a house fire in January, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $290
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Rent top-up: $665
I hope life is good to you.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless

Praying for you, Gerardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
