Contagem
Last November I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $1,250 goes: • Rent top-up: $640 • Childcare and after-school care: $290 • Groceries and school meals: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Sending good thoughts, Márcio. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Contagem.

    • Gregory L. Wilkins

      Wishing you the best, Márcio. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

        Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Heliopolis so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

          reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.

          • Kevin Simiyu Karanja

            Hope things get better soon, Márcio. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
