Help Sandra get through 4 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
After the death of my husband, Sandra is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $1,300 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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 $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $380
• Childcare and after-school care: $380
• Groceries and school meals: $350
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Sandra. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 14 people at work. Thinking of Caxias do Sul.
Good luck, Sandra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you, Sandra. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Rawalpindi but we're thinking of you. Love from Rawalpindi.
Stay strong, Sandra. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Juiz de Fora.
Stay strong, Sandra. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Mekelle.
Keep going, Sandra. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Blessings
