After the death of my husband, Pedro is raising twin daughters alone and needs $900 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Since the death of my husband in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 October, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $260
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Course fees and exam costs: $145
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Pedro. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 28 people at work. Love from Guadalajara.
Best of luck, Pedro. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
