Hi, I'm Marco, a single dad trying to get by for me and my son. I live in Milan, I'm a clerk, and I'm struggling to pay the rent and give my child a decent place to live. I have sole custody, and I would do anything for him, but now I'm at my wits' end.

I've always tried to help everyone, even the mother of my child, and I'm in debt up to my neck. My salary goes almost all on rent and bills, and at the end of the month there is little or nothing left for the rest. In Milan, salaries are not enough for a normal house, and I don't want much, just a place where my son can be comfortable, grow up in peace.

I'm asking you for a hand, really. Even a little, what you can, would help me breathe a little and not feel crushed. It's not just for the money, it's to show my son that we can do it, that there are people who help. If you can, spread the word, share.

Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart,

Marco ( I don't put pictures to protect my son's privacy)
