Back on our feet: Edson and twin daughters in Petrópolis
Edson and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in April, 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 July, 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 $1,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $540
• Childcare and after-school care: $410
• Groceries and school meals: $310
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
