Last March I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $160
• Childcare and after-school care: $95
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Thank you so much.
Updates from Yeshi
Update from Addis Ababa: the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. We're at 61% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

So sorry you're going through this, Yeshi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
