After a divorce in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
• Childcare and after-school care: $255
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Pilar
Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Pilar
Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon, Pilar. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Heraklion
