Back on our feet: Luiz and twin daughters in São Paulo
After my partner leaving, Luiz is raising twin daughters alone and needs $1,050 to stay afloat for 5 months.

After my partner leaving in August, 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 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 $1,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $470
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $195
• Course fees and exam costs: $210
With deep gratitude,
Luiz
