Help Berhanu get through 4 hard months with two young children
Berhanu and two young children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia1,155 views
After a divorce in May, I'm now raising two young 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $200
• Course fees and exam costs: $40
• Groceries and school meals: $110
Glad we found this place.
