Santiago is a single parent of three children under 8 - help us after my partner leaving
Santiago and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 8 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 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,250
• Groceries and school meals: $630
• Course fees and exam costs: $420
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Oakland.
