Santiago is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after my partner leaving
Santiago and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
Anywhere in the world581 views
After my partner leaving in June, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $2,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $860
• Childcare and after-school care: $800
• Course fees and exam costs: $340
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from El Paso.
Rooting for you, Santiago. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Kakamega.
Wishing you the best, Santiago. Hope you get there.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. Love from Udaipur
