Help Giovana get through 6 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 house fire.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,424 views
Since a house fire in February, 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $440
• Childcare and after-school care: $290
• Groceries and school meals: $280
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Thank you so much.
