Help Paolo get through 5 hard months with three children under 11
A single father in Venice needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Paolo retrains.
🇮🇹 Venice, Veneto, Italy1,021 views
Since a house fire in March, I'm now raising three children under 11 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 June, 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 $2,450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $620
• Childcare and after-school care: $550
• Rent top-up: $1,280

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Venice.
