After a house fire in August, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $1,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $690
• Childcare and after-school care: $490
• Groceries and school meals: $270
• Course fees and exam costs: $150
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Iztapalapa!
Thank you. If you're in Iztapalapa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mwanza.
Praying for you, Miguel. This could happen to any of us.
