Back on our feet: Amanda and three children under 10 in São Paulo
Amanda and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil997 views
Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $620
• Groceries and school meals: $210
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Amanda. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal. Thinking of São Paulo.
sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Semarang so I could bring a meal. Thinking of São Paulo.
So sorry you're going through this, Amanda. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Kumasi.
