After the death of my husband in September, 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 an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $300 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
• Childcare and after-school care: $140

Keep going, Bereket. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bereket
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. groceries and school meals is the biggest at $105.
So sorry you're going through this, Bereket. Shared it with a few friends. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Gondar.
gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Pretoria.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Bereket?
Thank you. If you're in Gondar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Thinking of Gondar

Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Laredo so I could bring a meal
