Carlos is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a sudden redundancy
Carlos and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇧🇷 Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil2,227 views
After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 October, 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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $210
• Rent top-up: $510
• Childcare and after-school care: $330
Glad we found this place.

I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in San Nicolás de los Garza this morning. Blessings.
Best of luck, Carlos. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Houston
Sending good thoughts, Carlos. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Newcastle upon Tyne but we're thinking of you.
wishing you the best, Carlos. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Houston.
