Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 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: • Rent top-up: $480 • Childcare and after-school care: $200 • Groceries and school meals: $300 • Course fees and exam costs: $70 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Cláudio

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Petrópolis

      Thank you. If you're in Petrópolis I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

    stay strong, Cláudio. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
