Since the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Rent top-up: $155
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Teresita
Good news. Because of your gifts ($235 in total) I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $179 raised so far (40%). the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Kadıköy this morning. God bless.
Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Kraków so I could bring a meal. God bless.

Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Tarragona but we're thinking of you. All the best.
