A single father in Barranquilla needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Javier retrains.
🇨🇴 Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia486 views
Last November I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 February, 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:
• Rent top-up: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $240
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
