Help Leonardo get through 3 hard months with three children under 9
Leonardo and three children under 9 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇲🇽 Jalisco, Mexico1,170 views
After a house fire in March, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 July, 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 $950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $175
• Course fees and exam costs: $245
With deep gratitude,
Leonardo

Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Minneapolis!
Best of luck, Leonardo. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Albuquerque.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
