Back on our feet: Sérgio and two young children in Recife

Recife
Since a divorce in November, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 $1,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $330 • Childcare and after-school care: $300 • Groceries and school meals: $370 • Course fees and exam costs: $200 With deep gratitude, Sérgio
