Help Susana get through 5 hard months with four children
A single mother in Tucson needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Susana retrains.

Since my partner leaving in April, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 August, 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 $4,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Groceries and school meals: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $370
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out, Susana. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal.
Keep going, Susana. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Tucson.
Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
