A single mother in Eugene needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Manuel retrains.

After a long illness in November, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 February, 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 $3,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Course fees and exam costs: $820
• Groceries and school meals: $1,030
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best, Manuel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Manuel. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Bahir Dar so I could bring a meal
Sending good thoughts, Manuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best!
