Help José get through 6 hard months with three children under 10
José and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 10 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $730
• Groceries and school meals: $670
• Childcare and after-school care: $650
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
