Felipe is a single parent of three children under 8 - help us after a sudden redundancy
Felipe and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇧🇷 Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil613 views
Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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 $700 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Rent top-up: $370
• Course fees and exam costs: $170
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
