Get back on my feet

Get back on my feet

From Ellie Bencomo Vidal

I live in Miami with my 7 year-old daughter. I am single mom, I am raising some money to pay some debts. Every month I struggle to get money for rent and pay bills. Being alone is not easy and I don´t have child support.

Her father has not taken care of her economically like it´s meant to be. So I have to work hard to give her propper education, pay for health insurance and entertainment. I started living in a friend´s house so my expenses were not that high in regards to rent, food but now that we live in a house, I need to cover payments that for obvious reason I did not have to care for.
