Back on our feet: Francisca and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Belo Horizonte
Francisca and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in April, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $560
• Childcare and after-school care: $390
• Groceries and school meals: $220
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Thanks for reading all this.
