Gabriel is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a divorce
Gabriel and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil1,130 views
After a divorce in December, 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 February, 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 $950 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Rent top-up: $570
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
Thank you so much.
