After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $190
• Course fees and exam costs: $45
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abebe.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($190) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Abebe. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 28 people at work. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Abebe. Hope you get there. Thinking of Addis Ababa
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
