Help Óscar get through 6 hard months with two young children
Óscar and two young children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world1,725 views
After a divorce in June, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $480
• Childcare and after-school care: $310
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
Thank you so much.

best of luck, Óscar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thanks for sharing this, Óscar. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Óscar. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Coatzacoalcos
