Back on our feet: Yeshi and four children in Addis Ababa

After a divorce in November, 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $450 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $70 • Rent top-up: $300 • Groceries and school meals: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Yeshi
