Help Pedro get through 4 hard months with twin daughters
After my partner leaving, Pedro is raising twin daughters alone and needs $5,250 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, 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 November, 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 $5,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Groceries and school meals: $850
• Course fees and exam costs: $900
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Houston
Good luck, Pedro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope things get better soon, Pedro. I hope things turn around soon.
Hang in there, Pedro. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Cebu City.
Hope it all works out, Pedro. Shared it with a few friends.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Townsville.
