Andrea is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after the death of my husband
Andrea and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Groceries and school meals: $280
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Andrea
Update from Buenos Aires: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 47% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($311 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 24% thanks to 2 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
So sorry you're going through this, Andrea. Hope you get there. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Łódź
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace, Andrea. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
sending strength, Andrea. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Brandon this morning. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Andrea. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
Rooting for you, Andrea. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
