Help Juan get through 3 hard months with twin daughters

Juan and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last April I went through a long illness, and 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 an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $185 • Childcare and after-school care: $220 • Groceries and school meals: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $90 If you're reading this, thank you. - Juan

    Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
