Back on our feet: Eduardo and twin daughters in São Paulo
Eduardo and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil1,731 views
Since a sudden redundancy in August, 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 a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $750 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Rent top-up: $375
Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($109). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Eduardo?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about course fees and exam costs, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Good luck, Eduardo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 24 people at work.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Bhaktapur.
