Ciudad de México
After a divorce in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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 October, 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 $1,450 goes: • Rent top-up: $570 • Childcare and after-school care: $390 • Groceries and school meals: $220 • Course fees and exam costs: $270 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Isabel

      Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

                Sending strength, Isabel. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.

                • Ellie G. Chavez

                  Sending strength, Isabel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
