The story

I am a husband and father living with my wife and our two children in Hout Bay, Cape Town, South Africa. I have been through a serious cancer illness, which has had a devastating impact on my health, my ability to work, and our financial stability. My greatest wish is to recover, rebuild our lives, and give my family the security and future they deserve. I survived a serious cancer illness, but the consequences have affected every part of our lives. Our savings have been exhausted, and I am struggling to provide for my family’s basic needs, including rent, food, and our children’s expenses. We are also facing mounting debts and serious financial and legal pressure, and I am desperately trying to prevent our situation from getting worse. What the money covers: - Rent and housing security — to help us keep a roof over our heads. - Food and essential household expenses — to make sure my family has the necessities of everyday life. - Children's essential needs and school expenses — to protect their stability and education. - Outstanding debts and urgent financial obligations — to reduce the pressure from overdue payments and legal demands. - Essential living expenses while I work to recover financially and rebuild our future. Fundraising goal: Approximately €10,000. - The money will go towards our most urgent needs first, particularly housing, food, and essential family expenses. Needed by: The support is needed as urgently as possible. We are facing immediate pressure over our housing costs, outstanding payments, and basic living expenses. Every additional delay makes it harder to prote. Already tried: I have used up our savings trying to keep our family going through and after my serious illness. I have tried to manage our expenses and deal with outstanding payments while hoping that our financial situation would improve. I have also sought ways to obtain financial support, but the pressure has continued to grow, and we have reached a point where we cannot manage everything alone. Already helping: My wife and I are doing everything we can to get through this difficult period and protect our children. We have been trying to manage our situation ourselves, but our financial resources are exhausted. We are now reaching out to compassionate people who may be able to help us get back on our feet. What changes: It would give my family breathing space and help us secure the essentials we urgently need: a home, food, and stability for our children. It would ease the immediate financial and legal pressure and give me the opportunity to focus on rebuilding my health, finding a sustainable way forward, and restoring our independence. Most importantly, it would give my family hope at a time when we desperately need it.

  • Surviving a serious illness and then facing eviction is more than one family should have to carry. Asking God to keep a roof over you all, and that food and the legal pressure ease while recovery continues.

    • Cancer took your health and your savings in one go, and still you are fighting for your children's stability. May help arrive quickly and may your strength return day by day.
