Ximena is a single parent of four children - help us after a long illness
Ximena and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,505 views
After a long illness in April, I'm now raising four children 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 bookkeeper 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $790
• Childcare and after-school care: $840
• Groceries and school meals: $450
• Course fees and exam costs: $620
Thank you so much.
