Mateo is a single parent of four children - help us after my partner leaving
Mateo and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,778 views
After my partner leaving in March, 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 a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $800 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $300
• Groceries and school meals: $260
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Mateo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone, Mateo. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Praying for you, Mateo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Quezon City!
hope things get better soon, Mateo. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 18 people at work. Love from Kampala
