Help Rafaela get through 5 hard months with twin daughters

Rafaela and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last April I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $700 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $120 • Childcare and after-school care: $250 • Rent top-up: $330 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Rafaela
