Duque de Caxias
Last February I went through a sudden redundancy, and 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $1,150 goes: • Rent top-up: $670 • Childcare and after-school care: $270 • Groceries and school meals: $210 Thank you so much.

    Wishing you peace, Henrique. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you. Take care.

      So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
