Back on our feet: Leandro and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Santos
After my partner leaving, Leandro is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $800 to stay afloat for 4 months.

After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 March, 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 $800 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $230
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $260
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Leandro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Machakos
Stay strong, Leandro. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Laredo donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
