Back on our feet: Josiane and twin daughters in Campinas
After the death of my husband, Josiane is raising twin daughters alone and needs $950 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 December, 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 $950 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
• Childcare and after-school care: $260
• Rent top-up: $605
With deep gratitude,
Josiane

wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning. God bless.
you're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings
Sending love, Josiane. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
