Help Anderson get through 5 hard months with four children
A single parent in Santos needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Anderson retrains.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil2,403 views
Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising four children 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 $1,050 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $370
• Rent top-up: $360
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Anderson. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Bucaramanga.
your post was clear and honest. Love from San Fernando.
You're not alone, Anderson. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you, Anderson. Shared this with my family.
