Since a long illness in January, I'm now raising four children 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $165
• Rent top-up: $460
• Childcare and after-school care: $275
If you're reading this, thank you.

wishing you peace, Mónica. Your post was clear and honest. Love from London.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ibadan
Sending good thoughts, Mónica. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Sending strength, Mónica. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck, Mónica. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Brasília so I could bring a meal. Love from Sapporo
