Help Bruno get through 4 hard months with four children
After a long illness, Bruno is raising four children alone and needs $1,100 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $450
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $270
• Course fees and exam costs: $160
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Columbia.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Love from San Diego.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bruno!
Sure. The biggest one is rent top-up, $450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you and your family, Bruno. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Nagoya.
I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
wishing you peace, Bruno. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Bangkok.
good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 35 people at work. Take care.
Take care, Bruno. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. God bless
hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Santos.
