disagree  Cecilia Olmos Herbin: Sí, pero esta frase en particular da la idea de que el padre fue el ÚNICO en solventar los gastos y el texto no dice eso
2 hrs
  -> Tenés razón. Ha brindado sostén econónimo sería una posibilidad correcta en ese contexto.
agree  Lafuente: De acuerdo contigo... "To provide for" significa eso: Necesidades físicas "casa, comida y sustento"
10 hrs
  -> Pero insisto, es necearo aclarar que se trata de sostén económico y no de otro tipo.
