Leandro and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

After the death of my husband in November, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 January, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $390
• Childcare and after-school care: $260
• Groceries and school meals: $360
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you, Leandro. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you. Love from Nairobi
sending good thoughts, Leandro. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Leandro. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
