Back on our feet: Luís and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Brasília
A single father in Brasília needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Luís retrains.
🇧🇷 Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil371 views
Last September I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 bookkeeper 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $360
• Groceries and school meals: $200
• Course fees and exam costs: $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Liverpool
