Help Paolo get through 6 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Paolo and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines2,529 views
Last September I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $390
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Paolo
Update from Quezon City: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 27% thanks to 11 of you. we've started the first stage. More news soon.

Keep going, Paolo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
is there anything that isn't money that would help Paolo?
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
wishing you the best, Paolo. Shared it with a few friends!
