Londrina
After a house fire in January, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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: $570 • Childcare and after-school care: $310 • Groceries and school meals: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $210 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Tiago

Updates from Tiago

  1. Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($521). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

  2. Quick update: $286 raised so far (22%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Quick update: $201 raised so far (15%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

        Thank you. If you're in Londrina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

      Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
