Help Fabiana get through 6 hard months with four children
Fabiana and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,760 views
After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 $1,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $520
• Childcare and after-school care: $450
• Groceries and school meals: $230
• Course fees and exam costs: $250
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fabiana
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $520, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Fabiana?
wishing you peace, Fabiana. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Amsterdam!
Thanks for sharing this, Fabiana. 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.
Keep going, Fabiana. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.
