After the death of my husband, Letícia is raising three children under 12 alone and needs $1,250 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Since the death of my husband in November, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 March, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $580
• Childcare and after-school care: $240
• Groceries and school meals: $300
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Letícia?
Thank you. If you're in Uberlândia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Praying for you, Letícia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
