Help Rafaela get through 3 hard months with twin daughters
Rafaela and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
Anywhere in the world192 views
Last February I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 May, 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:
• Groceries and school meals: $240
• Rent top-up: $400
• Childcare and after-school care: $260
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Rabat
Good luck, Rafaela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
wishing you peace, Rafaela. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Love from La Plata.
Hope things get better soon, Rafaela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Cairo.
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 30 people at work. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Rafaela. I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Jose.
