Back on our feet: Edson and two young children in Campinas
A single mother in Campinas needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Edson retrains.

Last March I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 June, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $570
• Childcare and after-school care: $360
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Edson. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Good luck, Edson. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
keep going, Edson. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
