Help Giovana get through 3 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Giovana and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

After a long illness in May, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $590
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $280
• Course fees and exam costs: $230
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Granada.
So sorry you're going through this, Giovana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Giovana. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
