Salvador
Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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: • Groceries and school meals: $310 • Rent top-up: $550 • Course fees and exam costs: $190 With deep gratitude, Raimundo

Updates from Raimundo

  1. Small update. $412 so far, I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

  2. Update from Salvador: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. We're at 11% thanks to 3 of you. the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. More news soon.
