Since a divorce in October, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $360
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Course fees and exam costs: $200

So sorry you're going through this, Mauricio. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Mauricio. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Palermo but we're thinking of you. God bless.
