Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 September, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $560
• Childcare and after-school care: $280
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Lagos!
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of São Paulo.
Thinking of you, Francisco. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal. God bless.
keep going, Francisco. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of São Paulo
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update!
