Back on our feet: Adriana and four children in Santos
Adriana and four children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

After the death of my husband in February, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $430
• Childcare and after-school care: $250
• Groceries and school meals: $330
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Update from Santos: the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. We're at 62% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
