Wanting a better today

Hi it started with me asking for a transfer to over side of the country, then being made redundant due to night work being canned and my partner pregnant with our second child so I went and did a 60 hour night shift to pay rent and bills and to look after my family.

 Six months of doing this with 3 hours sleep my body could not cope so moved my family to Scotland renting a nice house in a small village. Everything seemed to be looking up. I got my partner and two children settled in Scotland and drove 8 hours on weekend too see my family and then 8 hour’s when I could getting ahead in rent and paying all bills ahead of needing paying. Did this for a while until I could not anymore and handed in my notice and moved to Scotland to be with my family. I looked online and found a few jobs applied and went for interviews. One thing or another I could not get job then a supermarket job came up applied and went to prove ID and birth certificate got damaged in my wallet and they could not except it and it was during COVID and could not get a replacement so said could not employ me.

 I went and applied to work in a holiday camp as a money collector and apparently people do not last very long doing this I found out afterwards due to what it involves. Got job seasonal yippee. First year past ok and at end of season looked for work and found a dog food company so applied and started working for them over winter and enjoyed it. Then came really not well and found out I was allergic to deer antler what was one of there main products, so had to leave was very disappointed. Found out my partner was pregnant.

We had a home birth in a pool due to COVID  baby girl number three I love every single one of my children and work as hard as I can to provide for them

Next year started applied to join holiday camp again and this time I worked in there shop as well as money collection and near end of year said the warehouse could be done better as was a warehouser in past so I was aloud to strip and put knew shelving in the warehouse almost doubling the space. Time goes on and get full time contract at holiday camp I thought ok very hard work but it’s a job. Also found out my partner was pregnant again after our first holiday I was able to do for us.

Then the worst happens a team leader came to work with COVID and they said he had to work in warehouse where I was working and gave me COVID very badly. I lost my balance and my body got weak and almost lost my job as manager was not understanding. So as soon as I was better looked for another job while still working and found a job back at the same company I got made redundant from applied and got the job went and spoke to holiday camp manger and handed in my notice. During the period before moving to new job more and more was pushed onto me to get done and the last week before moving to new job my body gave up and hurt all my back and arm. I was devastated. I had to speak to the company and said I hurt my back and arm is it ok to keep job open they said sorry but no they needed someone to start now.

So lost new job and job at holiday camp thought no, I started to loose all the advance payments I had done bring rent to one month in advance and bills month by month before healing and finding a new job at a supermarket my baby was about to be born and was told I had the job. Yes.  Then the new we baby boy was born at home in the same birthing pool as my daughter and was ment to start work that week I called the company up as my baby boy had to go to hospital as one of his lungs was not inflating and was put in  a incubator in a room on his own. My partner stayed at hospital while I was looking after my three daughters and going to hospital every day with them. The company was understanding and kept my job open after about two weeks my boy was home but now starting to go in debt I started new job.

Was as hard as ever going back to work after a new boy was born but I did soon got given back door to do as well as shelf filling as was impressed with my work. Went free probation period and got offered two days felt destroyed after all I was doing. But excepted it as a job is better than none. So did overtime when ever it was possible to increase my wage. I managed to say and pay of debts but still could not get ahead again like I was.

I save for a family holiday and went on our second holiday my second ever holiday and went back to work and got food poisoning from a fast food shop as bought a treat for family and wish I had not and had to take time of work and putting me back into debt.  Some time went past after.

Then the worst happens I get a email saying you are going to be evicted due to owner was wanting to sell up…

 I don’t have the money to get another property have no family that lives near and four children with another on the way and a partner and I am supposed to be providing for them.

 The new baby was coming and I delivered him my self at home in the birthing pool that my other two was born in. Was amazing then 45 minutes later midwives turned up baby healthy but partner was ill she was rushed to hospital and they did tests and found a extra muscle on her heart. She came home and can’t do much and has to do more hospital visits to find out if anythink can be done.

Now I had a eviction notice delivered to the door by two people saying I have a choice finding £75,000 by July to buy from owner or leave. I spoke to my mum and told her the price and said I will pay her rent above the mortgage repayments if she could buy it so my family had a roof over there head. But my mum said she could not help us and can not get a mortgage so have to rent another three bedroom house.

So I have a family with five children 8 ,6 ,4, 1,0 and a sick partner being evicted and I only have a part time job but supermarket said they can give me a extra day permanently that will help but will not help with getting another property. I have never asked for help from strangers I have been the one that tries to help overs.

But now I am asking to anyone that can help I require help please as my children and partner means everything to me

Thank you for reading

I hope you are keeping well and having a happy life.

Near breaking-point

I’m on this site with belief that help can come from the most unlikely places for my younger sister who is silently reaching her breaking point. She is an immigrant in a foreign land, struggling day and night to care for her sick husband and four children. She works three demanding jobs to make ends meet but the ends never do meet up .

Her husband’s health has been back and forth and he hasn’t worked in four years. He requires constant medical care, but due to her immigration status, she has no access to public healthcare. Every doctor’s appointment, prescription, and every treatment has to be paid for and that’s why she’s currently drowning in debt. What she earns from all three jobs goes straight to medical bills, leaving very little for food, rent, or stuff for the kids.

She’s fighting poverty and hopelessness. I live in another country and I help as much as I can, but it’s not enough. Her children are beginning to notice the stress and sadness that she tries so hard to hide. She’s slipping into depression and I fear that if she doesn’t get help soon, she’ll lose the strength to keep going.

She still dreams though. She has a vision of opening her own care agency, not only to better support her family and stop nine-to-fiving-and-extras but also as a path to obtaining permanent residency. With that status, she and her family will have access to free healthcare and some measure of stability. But right now, that dream looks far fetched

Reading this you might think “yeah…just another sob story” and it is. The difference is my sister is an amazing woman who has risen from tremendous loss and pain but is losing her will to fight. She needs to be reminded that kindness still exists and that she’s not alone.

She doesn’t know I’m doing this but at this point I would do anything legal and honest if it would change her life for good. Please, if you can, help me lift her up before she breaks completely. Her children need their mother whole and I don’t want to lose her like we lost our mother. She needs a reason to keep fighting. Your support could change their lives.

If you read to the end, thank you. Even if she doesn’t get all she needs, I’m happy that her story is out there and who knows, it might just inspire someone who doesn’t have it that bad.

Don’t know where else to turn

I am at the end of my tether and I don’t know where else to turn.

To tell you a little bit about myself and my situation, I am a single mum to a beautiful baby boy, I work for the NHS and also have a second job working behind a bar on the weekends. I very rarely see my child, and I’m struggling to make ends meet and keep a roof over our heads. Childcare is crippling me, and I can’t afford to drop hours to look after him myself as I’m behind on my bills now. This morning I had a final notice through from a debt collector, with no means of paying the amount due.

My son’s father passed away when he was 4 months old, and I have no other family who can help.

I can’t believe I’m resorting to this, and I’m so ashamed to do it, but I genuinely don’t know what else to do. My PayPal.Me link is https://paypal.me/Sianny269?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB

URGENT: Help Me Graduate – Tuition Fee Support Needed Before May 5th

Dear Kind Hearts,

My name is Tobi, and I’m reaching out in one of the most defining moments of my life—with humility, hope, and a heart full of dreams still in motion.

I am at the final stage of my Executive MBA program—a journey that has been both academically rewarding and personally transformative. Despite battling a serious mental health crisis during my studies, I’ve fought through and maintained distinction-level performance. I am set to complete my final module in May 2025, yet a heavy cloud lingers:

I’m at risk of being expelled due to an outstanding tuition fee of £9,650 (approx. $12,000 USD)—and the deadline to clear this is May 5th, 2025.

This isn’t a result of irresponsibility. It’s the aftermath of a painful season where life spiraled in ways I could not control. The tuition was to be covered by a student loan disbursement process that broke down mid-way, right when I was grappling with health and financial setbacks.

Today, I am back on my feet—healthy, focused, and determined. But I can’t change the past. I can only ask for help to redeem this moment so all the effort, growth, and sacrifices won’t be in vain.

What’s at Stake:

If the tuition isn’t cleared:

  • I will lose access to graduation.

  • I will not receive my degree or transcript.

  • Years of effort and achievement will remain unrecognized.

Here’s How You Can Help:

💳 Contribute securely via PayPal:
👉 https://www.paypal.com/pool/9egVCDYhIg?sr=wccr

Even a small contribution brings me closer to the goal. Together, your kindness can turn this around.

Total Needed: £9,650

Deadline: May 5th, 2025

Your support is not just financial—it’s restorative. It says my story matters. That people still believe in second chances, in unseen potential, and in lifting each other up when it matters most.

If you feel moved, please consider sharing this with friends or on social media. You may be the bridge between me and a future I’ve worked tirelessly to reach.

With gratitude and hope,

Please I need financial assistance to pay back the bank loan scammers took in my name

To the good Samaritans,

Hello everyone, my name is Nicole. I am writing to you with a big sadness to ask for your financial assistance. Last year, I was a victim of an online investment scam which changed my life for the worse. At that time I was diagnosed with my right shoulder around my neck C5-C6 disc protrusion compressing the right nerve and also a subacromial bursitis on the same shoulder. I saw the opportunity of making some money to help me to go for an injection to ease the pain at a private hospital as there is not a specific treatment for those two health issues I have. That is why I signed for the investment. I was promise with a good profit to help me with the treatment because the pain was and still took much. Because of the pain I couldn’t do anything, the executive manager Richard Adams was doing everything for me via anydesk. So, he took out a loan of £16.000.00 using my details. Before I knew it, he transferred the money into an abroad account he opened to Italy. So, the company details, the account all the details deleted, disappeared on the system everything gone until now. The experience has not just left me with a heartbroken, stressed and insomnia on top of the health problems I am going through but with harassment from the bank phoning and emailing all the time for repayment and also saying that the interest increasing. I am so so scared as I am struggling to pay them even to pay my other bills. Please, I am begging anyone who can help me to sort out the bank so I can really focus on my health. Any small help will make a big difference.

Thank you to each and everyone for your understanding and help. Your support will not be forgotten thank you again.

Cancer Survivor – Treatment Expenses, NHS Refused Treatment

Thank you so much for taking a moment to read this.

I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d need to ask for help like this. I’m a young IT Technician working for the NHS, doing my best to build a life. But everything changed when I was diagnosed with hepatic angiosarcoma — a rare, aggressive liver cancer — after what should’ve been a routine appointment.

The treatment I needed wasn’t deemed not viable by the NHS due to the high cost and slim chances of survival, meaning private care was my only option. It saved my life, but came with a heartbreaking price tag: £45,812. My Bupa insurance only covered the diagnostics during treatment, and I’ve already spent everything I had — including what I’d saved for a house deposit — just to cover half the cost.

I still owe £22,906, and with no savings left and a modest NHS salary, it’s been impossible to keep up. Right now, I’m struggling just to afford food and fuel to get to work.

It’s incredibly difficult to ask for financial help, especially online, but I’m out of options. I’ve fought so hard to survive the illness — I just need a little help to survive the aftermath.

Anything you can give means more than I can ever explain. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 💙

Victim of a Job Scam

HELP!!! I was scammed!!! I fell for a job scam September 2023 and till I type, I’ve NOT recovered a penny nor mentally. This happened while job hunting in the UK. I have several mail trails with; Financial Ombudsman UK, Revolut- my bank, OKx – the crypto app, and Action Fraud UK, till November 2024 where it was concluded that I will not be getting my money back. lost over £38,996.33 (All I had, borrowed and still in debt)

I am a 42-year-old single woman with no child and never been married, just living a purposeful life and minding my business. Aspiring to be the best I can within my capacity until a random ‘agent’ named Amelia Austin from Capstone Recruitment UK (obviously fake cause I wrote Capstone an email for verification later) – +447874658963 sent me a WhatsApp message of a job opportunity, she mentioned that SISENSE, company rep will chat me up on the details and I looked forward to it. Later that week, Christina (the rep) +447367819267 reached out. I read every detail of the job that states I will be reviewing random products and paid percentage per rating. I felt, easy and all is well so long as I’m not asked for money at anytime. She proceeded in sending me a Sisense link for training purpose. It was for me to train, practice and earn, however, the money earned during training is not mine as the account is hers.

I felt comfortable learning every task she made me complete. Quite easy I thought, I was added to a WhatsApp group named “Christina B Team 25 Sisense” of over 20 people whom she claims were her trainees and other company reps who would make my job easier and answer every question I have, relieved as it seems I’m not alone. (All gimmick and make believe). I then asked the rep, Christina when do I start work proper so I can start earning. She told me about a membership fee starting from $99 to $4999. She claimed money is mine but it allows me access the task for each day and my membership determines my earning percentage. So, a $99 membership earns 0.5% of every rating on every task and a minimum of 30 – 35 tasks can be assigned randomly by the system in a day. There is a customer rep – +447447848374 who assign wallet addresses needed to fund accounts and complete each task.  Also, salaries can only be earned in USDT- Crypto (which I was new into but she was welling to help and support me all the way). I proceeded with a $99 membership so I can start immediately and stop making money for her instead as I was on “training” for a week just to see how it works. Gradually I got trapped as ever task demanded for more money which I had to lend from family and friends to clear out my task. I was tossed “products” in its thousands to rate. Sleepless nights, clearing out all my savings, lending money from different people just to complete my task and get my money out, which I never did. I pleaded with the rep to help, to trade in all I’ve earned just to get back my trapped funds, no luck.

I knew at some point it was a scam; I wrote to Capstone recruitment and they replied not knowing the recruiter at all and I should be careful. I wrote to Sisense legal team and email found on their real page, no response till date. I was curious as the real Sisense headquarters in New York, why Sisense UK? All of these were starring at me after several thousands of pounds have been trapped. I was too scared and really embarrassed. I felt, ‘forget it and move on you goofed’ but its a lot of money and I was in serious debts. I kept faith believing the rep or their customer rep could help and release me/my account, perhaps pity me because I became really ill as I was stuck and couldn’t pay back my lenders. I borrowed £4,000 from my sister who cleared out her savings for me as I’ve never asked anyone for money before, this has really strained my relationship with her and now, we barely talk. I was running a very good retail business, selling on Etsy, eBay and Amazon, even my website but all went down the drain. I needed the proceeds from the job to boost my business but all I have is more debts. Covid slowed down everything as buying power dropped which affected by business, hence why I came to the UK to learn and intern as a data analyst with Pitman Training UK.  I had serious PTSD and was depressed for several months while I filed my case with Action Fraud but all till date, no positive result.

I humbly request for your help please in any way possible, to first mend my relationship with my sister by paying her back fully and to pay a few more people, by extension get my life back in bits. And oh…. Christmas was horrible, had nothing to eat but I’m hopeful!

First time mum on maternity leave with no pay

Hello, please I need help with my bills and feeding my daughter. I am an immigrant on maternity leave with no pay. I live with my husband who is a student and unable to work more than 20hrs per week, which limits his pay to about £800 monthly. Our rent is £950 and we have bills of about £200(gas and electricity) and £900 overdue council tax debt.

The debt collector enforcement agent has given us till tomorrow before they come and start seizure of property and belongings. And our rent is due on the 11th also; which is tomorrow. I desperately need help urgently. Please, thank you.

He left me in debt while breaking my heart while pregnant

Hello there :-) First of all, I really appreciate you taking the time to read my humble request. I will get straight to it.

I had a relatively good but average life. I worked a good job and had some money saved in order to buy my house. I lived with my parents and was good with money, so I was doing a great job of saving up for my goal.

I met a man in 2019, who stole my heart. We hit it off and started a relationship. He was self employed but struggled sometimes with making enough money to support himself and his children. I believe I am a very kind, caring and empathetic person and so long story short, I ended up spending all of my savings on him, financially helping him almost each month and giving him a large amount of money each month for a few years.

Now you may be thinking that I was or am very naive doing this for him, and that may be so. However, he is a very intelligent man; I would even consider him a genius. He was also super ambitious and had all these big plans to eventually get rich. So, because of the intense love I had for him, the future I saw with him, and my belief in his future success, I helped him out with the hope that together, we would make enough money and my sacrifice to help him would be worth it.

Eventually, my savings finished and he started using my credit cards. Stupid, I know. But again, I had faith that I would get all of it back in future.

In 2024, I became pregnant with his baby and my first child. At 5 months pregnant, I found out from the other woman that he had been cheating on me since 2021. That devastated me. I ended the relationship and had my baby but I was over £20,000 in credit card debts.

I am now in a large amount of debt, and I am nowhere close to my dream of eventually buying my house, especially now with a young baby.

I am so ashamed and embarrassed of what I have done, I have not and cannot even tell my family and friends about the situation I have put myself in. They would be so disappointed in me as they would have expected by now that I would be in a position to now purchase my own home.

My baby’s father has not abandoned me, however we are no longer together and he still is not any better off financially and so is not able to help my clear the credit card debts at the moment.

You may think it was my own foolish decisions that led me to this point and you would be right. But it was all down to me being a woman in love, believing in her man and wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Thank you so much if you have gotten this far. If you choose not to help, I thank you and wish you all the best. If you do choose to help, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and appreciate any help that you are able to provide, no matter how big or small. I wish on you, all the blessings that may be available to you.

Domestic Violence

My husband beat me up for 20 years. Ending in hitting me with a car.

I was locked in raped and abused. He was a surgeon and his peers protected him. Eventually I ran to a refuge with my 2 children and got divorced on grounds of gross cruelty. The day he was served divorce papers he vanished emptying our bank accounts and taking out a bigger mortgage. I had zero money my daughtets were in distress. The bank took my home and debtors he had owed left hounded me night and day he left me with his 500k debts. I had been looking after my 90 year old mother with Parkinsons. I was ill. Depressed had severe arthritis from the broken bones. I took 4 jobs to save my children. Cleaned toilets. Cleaned houses. Did book keeping and baby sitting. Any thing to protect my children I slept 4 hours a night and was in hindsight living a walking nervous breakdown. His last words to me were I will be back to cut your and the daughters throats one day. I suffered ptsd night terrors and had a recurring dream of him walking in my bedroom with my daughters severed heads in a box. The torture . Humiliation has been awful one time friends crossed the road too embarrassed to talk to me. I was in a hostel with drug addicts and prostitutes for 3 years. After many generations of my family paying tax and at least 10 dying in world war one and 2 for their country. In the hostel every one got housed before me. The council officers would say why would a surgeons wife need help. Because I do I said. I was treated like a leper in my own vountry UK. My great great uncle was a key officer in turning Waterloo in the favour of UK. But in this modern society loyalty patriotism and honour mean nothing.

Help Oromo Relief Association UK

Help Oromo Relief Association UK Secure Office Rent and Continue Crucial Support for Refugees

We are the Oromo Relief Association UK (www.oromoreliefassociationuk.com), a small yet dedicated charity serving the Oromo community and refugees from Ethiopia since 1982. Over the years, we have become a lifeline for many individuals navigating the difficult and often traumatic journey of seeking asylum in the UK. Despite our invaluable contributions to the community, we face a significant challenge that threatens our ability to continue our essential services: we are struggling to pay the office rent.

As a small charity, we rely heavily on donations from kind-hearted individuals, other NGOs, and the support of our members to continue our work. However, our funding is limited, and the cost of maintaining a physical space where we can meet with clients, offer advice, and provide essential services is becoming increasingly difficult to cover.

The services we offer are crucial for the well-being of the people we assist. Our primary mission is to guide refugees and asylum seekers through the complex and often confusing asylum process. This includes offering free and impartial advice, providing interpreting services, and helping individuals navigate the welfare system. Our office acts as a safe space where refugees can meet with advisors who understand their language, culture, and unique challenges. Without our office, many individuals would be left with nowhere to turn, and their chances of successfully integrating into the UK would be significantly diminished.

In addition to supporting individuals through the asylum process, we also help with signposting refugees to other vital services such as legal aid, healthcare, housing, and mental health support. Our work is not just about providing information; it’s about offering hope, guidance, and practical support at a time when our clients feel lost and uncertain about their future.

Without the funding to secure our office space, we risk being forced to scale back or even shut down some of these essential services. This would leave many refugees and asylum seekers without the crucial support they need during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Our office is not just a physical space; it is the heart of our operations and the base from which we can serve our community effectively.

We are reaching out to you today with a heartfelt appeal for your support. If you are able to donate to help us cover the cost of our office rent, it will directly contribute to keeping our services running and ensuring that we can continue to offer vital assistance to refugees who depending on us.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our ability to keep our doors open and continue our work. With your help, we can ensure that the Oromo Relief Association UK remains a beacon of support and hope for refugees from Ethiopia and beyond.

Please consider donating today to help us cover the Rent we need to secure our office space and continue our life-changing work. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Urgent Appeal for Financial Assistance – A Single Mother’s Struggle to Provide for my child

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your support during an incredibly challenging time for my family. I am a single mother to a 6-year-old autistic child, and I am currently facing a situation that I never imagined would happen to us.

In February, I lost my job as a Healthcare Assistant in the UK, and since then, my life has been turned upside down. Unfortunately, due to my visa status, my son and I are not eligible for public funds or any government benefits. This has left us with no financial safety net to rely on during this difficult period. As a result, we have been homeless for over a month, and the struggle to provide basic necessities, including food and shelter, has become overwhelming.

Every day has been a battle to survive, and while I am doing everything in my power to find a new job, the situation has become urgent. My priority is to secure stable accommodation for myself and my son. Without a safe and secure place to call home, it is impossible for me to focus on rebuilding my life and finding stable employment. A roof over our heads is not just a basic need, but a critical foundation that will allow me to continue caring for my child and working toward a better future.

I am asking for your support in the form of financial assistance to help us secure accommodation. This will enable me to regain some stability while I continue my efforts to find work and provide for my son. Any contribution you can offer, no matter how small, will have an immeasurable impact on our lives. Your generosity will help us move closer to the goal of securing a permanent home and rebuilding our lives.

I understand that many are going through tough times, and it is with great humility that I ask for your support. The kindness and compassion of people like you can make all the difference in moments like this. Your help would allow us to overcome this crisis and build a brighter future.

Thank you so much for considering my appeal. Your support would mean the world to me and my son during this incredibly difficult time.

 

With sincere gratitude11

Dentist

I reacted terribly to the COVID-19 vaccine and started having uncontrollable bleeding on my gums. The dentists in the UK were charging very exorbitant prices to sort it out so someone suggested that I go to Turkey which I did. They did what I thought was a good job until the problem resurfaced six months later, this time even worse. Right now I’m having constant gum inflammation, with pus coming out. I’m ashamed to get to close to people as my breath stinks. I’ve lost literally all my self confidence and now have very low self esteem. Eating solids especially meat is almost impossible for me now. Hard fruits are totally out of the question. I’ve been researching dentists and have found one who specialise in my level of gum disease. They charge £16,000 for a full mouth implants. They have options for finance but their initial deposit is £2500, which I don’t have. I’m struggling with my rent at the moment since I lost my job in January. I have a lot of financial obligations which I’m finding very difficult to keep up with. My daughter threw me out in December and I was lucky to find a reasonable place to rent. Unfortunately, I lost my job. I’ve recently been accepted for another job but not given a start date yet as the necessary checks and references have to be completed. I’ve requested for assistance with rent already. I am desperate to have the damage and deterioration in my gums reversed to boost my self confidence. I’ve turned down relationship proposals for this reason. I’m lonely and would appreciate companionship but can’t get too close to anyone at the moment. My children have abandoned me and I’m all alone. I would appreciate it if I could have a good Samaritan resolve this issue for me. It’s very embarrassing.

Tragic loss of my Grandfather on my wedding day

On August 10th, 2024, my grandfather who was a fit and healthy 63-year-old was devastatingly hit with a stroke, this happened during our family reunion which happens every year. As a family we were all sharing stories and showing gratitude for our family staying together despite all the struggles over the years.

Grandfather who always had something to say and would give the most bellyful laugh during our reunions was unexpectedly silent, one moment we saw him standing and in the next few seconds we saw him lose his balance and fall over almost hitting his head we all rushed over to check on him and that’s when we tried asking him if he was okay due to the heightened emotions of the situation it was not noticed at the time that half of his face was drooping but was immediately apparent was that he wasn’t able to talk.

We called the ambulance, and he was rushed off to the hospital where his checks were done, and they updated us that he had a severe stroke. As a family we banded together to be a support system to our grandfather and ensure he gets his medical bills paid and makes a speedy recovery or so we hoped… After some time, the hospital allowed us to take him and instructed that he will be requiring physiotherapy, and regular check-ups at the hospital. About a week after having him back in his home we were very supportive and ensured he attended all his physiotherapy sessions as a means of staying positive and providing hope that he would one day be back to normal and he able to walk, talk and have his freedom back.

Over time it was clear that the stroke started to affect more than his mobility, speech and cognitive ability. He started to become very depressed, just take a moment to consider being a classic man who was very hardworking, name almost any hands on profession and he had done it, my grandfather was an excellent tailor, drove taxi at nights to make extra to feed and look after his children and wife, he used the land he had to farm and raise livestock he was determined to do what was necessary to provide for his family. Not only that, he was very kind and well respected person in his community, if someone needed help or temporary accommodation he would find a way to support them along with my grandmother they were a power couple one with the will to overcome all obstacles to provide for family and his wife with a heart of gold willing to give away her last in order to help someone in need. After the stroke he became a shell of himself unable to complete simple things like eating food, hold a cup, having a conversation even his signature belly laugh he was no longer able to despite following all the medical advice and ensuring he had regular check-ups and physiotherapy he wasn’t getting any better and no sign of him recovering anytime soon.

He was my Grandfather but he and my fiancé at the time soon to be husband, became very close my husband would sit with him trying to have conversations, assist him with his mobility and personal care, in that time they became very close and he decided we should continue to do our best to support grandfather’s recovery and also to ease the burden off the rest financial  we took full control of his medical treatment of over $30,000.

My husband and I paid for his medical bills and physiotherapy each month meanwhile saving for our wedding that was booked for 19th of March 2025 and despite doing both was a extreme struggle we felt we had a duty to get Grandfather to make a full recovery. For a moment picture a beautiful sunny day by the seaside it was our wedding day, and everyone was getting ready for our big day. Things were not going according to plan on our day, but we still focused on us becoming on in marriage and having all our family there to witness our union it was a very special moment. We did our dance entrance into the reception hall music and laughter was filling the room we danced together as officially husband and wife then sat down to overlook all our guests and family members. Due to the busyness of the day this was the first time we had a moment to admire and look at who attended but I noticed I couldn’t see my Grandfather at all he wasn’t at the tables and he wasn’t in his wheelchair outside so trying my best not to worry or think negatively I turned to my husband and leaned on his shoulder he asked if I was okay, I replied

“I don’t know why I feel so uneasy even though we just had such a special moment and one of the greatest days in my life.”

It wasn’t long afterwards a close friend of the family came to our table and whispered in my ears that they had received really bad news. As this was our special day I didn’t want to hear any bad news so I requested that they would tell me later; another minute passed and I looked around started to see my grandmother, mother and aunt all burst into tears so I rush over to see what was wrong and it was then I was informed that my Grandfather had passed way. The shock hit me so hard that I was hit with a panic attack for the first time in my life, my chest became extremely tight, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe and was gasping for air it was my husband that had to snap me out of it with his embrace and words.

Ultimately, my family and I are still devastated to lose our Beloved Grandfather so suddenly in a time that was supposed to be special… the situation we were in was just about scraping by to make our wedding possible and still looking after Grandfather while he was here all his treatments and medical bills, now we are in a serious dilemma not knowing how we will afford to his funeral expenses. We have no savings left and we are reaching out for help…

This was very difficult decision to make and our last resort as we as people do not like to ask for help even when we need it, even if it means suffering but I am choosing to come and boldly ask if anyone can reach out to us and help to pay for my Grandfather’s funeral even if its only $1 any help will be greatly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts we sincerely need the financial help.

We have contacted many funeral homes and prices for the lowest packages start from $7000 all the way up to $14000, currently we can’t even afford the lowest priced packages and even with everyone trying to put together with the cost of living now its really hard to even save 500 dollars a month, hence why we are seeking help, I will attach my PayPal link below for anyone who wants to help. We appreciate your time, and consideration may God bless you all.
