Last June I went through a sudden redundancy, and 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 $1,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $570
• Childcare and after-school care: $330
• Groceries and school meals: $340
• Course fees and exam costs: $160
Glad we found this place.

Keep going, Bruna. Hope you get there. Take care.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Niterói
Sending strength, Bruna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Kediri.
Sending good thoughts, Bruna. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Niterói.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. All the best
