Funds for Ethiopia

Hello family & friends. I hope all is well. For those who don't know me well, my name is Simensh. I came to the U.S. through adoption 12 years ago. I'll be visting  Ethiopia in less than two months for number of reasons, ( I will be there for 2 month) and I'd appreciate your help. 

 

Those who know me personally know that I am from Ethiopia's rural areas, and life is different there. When I returned to Ethiopia for the first time in 2016, I realized that many of my childhood friends had married or dropped out of school. It was heartbreaking to see that, and the most of them were girls who would never have the same opportunity that God had given me and many of my adoptive friends. I can't picture what my life would have been like if I had stayed in Ethiopia. Nonetheless, I am eternally grateful to my adopted parents for their unwavering love and for continuing to be my champion. 
It is because of God and them that I am able to live life abundantly and possibly give back to my community.

 

As a result, going to Ethiopia is a bittersweet experience. However, this time I want to give back to the community that helped mold me into the woman I am today.

My goal is to provide some financial assistance to those who are most in need and to help kids (especially girls) stay in school in any way I can, whether it's by providing school supplies or uniforms.

 

I understand that the Pandemic and our current economic situation have been difficult for many people. If you could assist me with this desire, it would mean the world to me.
