Guys, I’m really sorry to be doing this but due to the Coronavirus pandemic crisis, I need to be asking for help.
My family is made of my father, my mother, me, my dog and my turtle. My father sells chocolate, my mother doesn’t have a job. I used to work at a bilingual school but I left there to start my mandatory internship for college (I’m going to get a Teacher license) - which I cannot do at the moment because schools are closed and I’m also on a risk group.
My father can’t leave home because he is on a risk group and because we are self quarantining. Here all stores have been ordered to close (except essential stores, pharmacies and restaurants) so he is unable to sell. He is also an informal worker (his worker card is not signed so that means he doesn’t get benefits and a steady monthly income here in Brazil). He only gets 3% of his chocolate sells and most of what we live by is what he makes during Easter, which is soon, and means he won’t be able to make much money or no money at all.
We don’t have savings. I am on the autism spectrum and I have anxiety and depression so I need necessary mediation. My father has several health issues and also requires medication.
So I decided to ask for donations.
The minimum (monthly) salary here in Brazil is currently R$ 1.045. This would be something like $208.34, €195.10 or £179.51.
Please if you can, this would be much helpful. Whatever you can, even one dollar/pound/euro is an incredible help.

{In this case “coffee” means food, household items, paying bills and most importantly, buying me and my father’s meds.}
Since I’ve never done this, I have no idea where to do a fundraiser or accept donations, if you know better places, please contact me.
If you can’t donate, that is fine, could you please share this post?

UPDATE: my father told me his clients asked for a 90 days payment time because of the crisis. The problem is: my dad only gets paid 3% and only WHEN the clients pay.
Our kitchen is basically flooded with giant boxes of chocolate that we can’t sell or do anything with because it’s not my dad’s, it is from the company that employs him.
Dad said that “Easter is our Christmas. We don’t get end of the year bonuses or higher sales so during Easter time is when we make enough for the whole year because of the easter eggs. I guess this year we won’t have neither Easter nor Christmas.”

If you wish to donate in other ways send me a message/ask.
Situation really is dire, so if you could, please help, if you can’t, I understand, I only ask you to share this post.

UPDATE:
Hey guys, my dad says thank you to all the people who have already donated and he would like to offer you some “coronacookies” that he made.
I don’t think he understands that you guys are all over the world! <3 But you can see how thankful he is (also how cute he is, I say he is my panda, I love my dad)
obs: (you can see some of my necessary meds in this photos too, the one I take every morning is called Oxalato de Escitalopram)
