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.

      Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Londrina

        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.
