Back on our feet: Daniel and twin daughters in São Paulo

A single parent in São Paulo needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Daniel retrains.

Last October I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 February, 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: • Course fees and exam costs: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $260 • Rent top-up: $460 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Daniel

Updates from Daniel

  1. Thank you all. We're at 61% now ($579). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($305 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $211 so far, I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

    I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
