Help Ximena get through 4 hard months with twin daughters
A single mother in Bogotá needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Ximena retrains.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia1,342 views
After a divorce in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $145
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $150
Glad we found this place.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Ogbomosho donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 10 people at work. Blessings.
Keep going, Ximena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
