Regina and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last May I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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 $750 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $280
• Course fees and exam costs: $160
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Regina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Khon Kaen so I could bring a meal.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of São Paulo
