Help Mónica get through 4 hard months with twin daughters
Mónica and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,368 views
Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $390
• Childcare and after-school care: $380
• Groceries and school meals: $330
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Mónica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Bogotá.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Hope it all works out, Mónica. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
