Buenos Aires
After the death of my husband in October, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $950 goes: • Rent top-up: $260 • Childcare and after-school care: $330 • Groceries and school meals: $270 • Course fees and exam costs: $90 Thanks for reading all this. - Rafael
