Bruno is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a house fire
Bruno and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in December, 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 web developer 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $710
• Childcare and after-school care: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $190
• Course fees and exam costs: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Contagem.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Keep going, Bruno. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dhaka
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Colombo.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Kadıköy.
