Help Rafael get through 5 hard months with two young children
Rafael and two young children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇲🇽 Guadalupe, Nuevo León, Mexico897 views
Last July I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $650 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
• Childcare and after-school care: $440
• Groceries and school meals: $115
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rafael.
It's all in the list in the story. course fees and exam costs is the big one at $95, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
