Working through an employment agency, she’s landed a job earning $21 an hour at Abbott Labs enough, she hopes, to bring her husband to the states so he can meet their child and, with his help at home, Diriye can someday go to school.

Lewiston teen Jackson O’Brien decided he would adopt an entire week.
Erin Reed, director of Trinity Jubilee, said the “sponsor a meal” donations help cover the costs of running the soup kitchen on a given day everything from food to silverware to cleaning supplies. Reed said she is always “amazed” when young people are thinking about issues, such as hunger and homelessness.
O’Brien, 16, is a junior at Hebron Academy. He only moved to Lewiston from Boston a few years ago.
Around the holidays, he said he decided to donate partly because of the impacts of the pandemic. He would have liked to have been able to volunteer in person, but COVID-19 guidelines have complicated the effort. All meals and groceries have been distributed outdoors.
