Help Guadalupe get through 6 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
After the death of my husband, Guadalupe is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $2,000 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Last December I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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 $2,000 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $450
• Childcare and after-school care: $970
• Groceries and school meals: $580
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Guadalupe. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Johannesburg!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tallahassee
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Tallahassee
Hope things get better soon, Guadalupe. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Busan.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours!
