Last September I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $1,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $730 • Childcare and after-school care: $310 • Groceries and school meals: $180 • Course fees and exam costs: $130 Thank you so much.

Updates from Manoel

  1. Small update. $270 so far, I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

  2. Update from Santos: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
