Help Héctor get through 3 hard months with three children under 8
Héctor and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,017 views
After a long illness in February, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $710
• Course fees and exam costs: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Héctor. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Héctor. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
sending strength, Héctor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Sending strength, Héctor. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
