Help Edson get through 4 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

Edson and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Guarulhos
Last September I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $850 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $330 • Childcare and after-school care: $300 • Course fees and exam costs: $220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Edson

    Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Guarulhos.
