Family

Message from from mom of family.

I have been pondering and second guessing and contemplating to ask this for a while now hoping above hope that somehow, I will rise above my adversity. Unfortunately that has not happened.

I am just so deflated at the moment, longing for a miracle that I am considering giving it all up.

My faith and beliefs are all that keeps me going other than that I am lost.

I am struggling to keep my head above water and this is a call for help.

Just before lockdown a very promising employment my husband and I had was suddenly and without warning terminated, this without any severance pay.

We were left in limbo with promises made continuously until eventually just silence.

Everyone disappeared and to this day still no where to be found.

The company itself we learned was in liquidation. I am so disappointed in this company, I have no words.

We were left stranded and unable to pay for the house we living in as this was all included in our package. We have been basically left stranded. We consulted lawyers but we couldn’t get anywhere as all the directors have vanished into thin air and we have exhausted what little money we had.

We are so far behind in rent that only because of lockdown we are not being evicted as yet.

We survive with the bare minimum and are grateful that we can.

With the help of family we have pulled through, however everyone is stretched at the moment and help has faded.

I am pleading for any financial assistance toward our rent so that we can continue to stay in the house we are in, I only ask this as moving is not an option because we will not be able to get a rental considering our financial status and we do not have close family or friends to move in with as we're not from here and we have three kids at school.

One is in matric and doing well. I am fearful for her the most, as being destitute and stressed would place her under pressure especially with exams looming. The school thus far has been very understanding and given us some relief with school fees.

I am just so depressed, and instead of going on and on, all I can do is plead now.

There is no where to go to, we gave up everything to come here. I can't let my children down it would break them I hope that doesn't sound selfish.

Our landlord is becoming very angry and threatening and we are doing our best to keep the kids away from that but its becoming difficult. They sense something and just seem to be taking it in. I just don't know what I would do if we had to leave. We would basically be on the street.

I am just so lost.

I would appreciate any financial assistance or even offers of employment.

Finding employment in this situation is tricky. 

I keep asking myself what have I done wrong.

I am just so afraid for my children, how do I tell them we have nothing.

I apologise for this long message, and I apologise for asking. Its just been a tough time.

I promise in all honesty that whatever help I receive will be paid forward or returned in some way. Even a prayer for us would be greatly appreciated. Thank you God Bless.
