Million is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a sudden redundancy
Million and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia882 views
Last July I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $200 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Groceries and school meals: $55
• Childcare and after-school care: $65
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Million
Quick update: $110 raised so far (55%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Million
Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($25). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.
