Campaign Title: Assistance Following Damage from a Home Fire

Dear All,
My name is Melkamu Birhanie Desalegn. I was born in 1990 and currently reside in Ethiopia. I got married in 2018 and I have two children named Ermiyas Melkamu Birhanie and Meba Melkamu Birhanie.

On August 1, 2026, an accident occurred involving my neighbor, which resulted in an electrical fire that consumed my rental house along with all my personal belongings, educational documents, and other materials.

The damage is so extensive, and it needs your cooperation to recover from the incident.
We Need Your Help
There is no home insurance, and it is difficult to recover from the damage, and we need your ultimate support for the following major sensitive cases
Temporary Living Expenses: Securing temporary short-term housing, food, and necessities
Essential Belongings: Replacing damaged essential furniture, clothing, and household appliances.
How Funds Will Be Used
We are aiming to raise $2,000 to recover from this crisis.
How You Can Support
No donation is too small, and every single dollar brings us one step closer to rebuilding our life and home. If you are unable to donate at this time, you can still help immensely by:
• Sharing this campaign on Facebook, Instagram, or via text with your network.
• Keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging transition.
We are deeply humbled and forever grateful for the outpouring of love, kindness, and support from our community during this difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us get back on our feet.

With heart felt gratitude,
Melkamu Birhanie/Asnaku Tesfaw/Ermias Melkamu/Meba Melkamu
