Back on our feet: Daniela and twin daughters in Duque de Caxias
Daniela and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $710
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Course fees and exam costs: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Daniela
54% there. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Update from Duque de Caxias: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
