Help Ephrem get through 4 hard months with three children under 10
Ephrem and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia1,604 views
Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 November, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $190
• Childcare and after-school care: $110
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
thinking of you, Ephrem. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
