Addis Ababa
After a divorce in March, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $260 • Childcare and after-school care: $135 • Groceries and school meals: $75 • Course fees and exam costs: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Eyob

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Addis Ababa!

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eyob

      • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($260) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Addis Ababa

      • Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
