MY FAMILY:

My parents divorced when I was very young, and since then, I’ve lived with my father and paternal grandparents. About two years ago, my father was diagnosed with heart disease, forcing him to leave his job to focus on treatment. As the family’s primary breadwinner, his income was essential, and without it, we faced significant financial strain. While his health has improved, he must take medication regularly and can no longer handle strenuous work, so he picks up occasional odd jobs for a small income. We live with my grandparents, who help us a great deal, especially with our daily meals. However, my grandmother is battling breast cancer and is in fragile health, and her medical expenses have been considerable. Currently, my grandfather is the main earner, working as a security guard, but his income is very low. My family is struggling to make ends meet, as my grandfather’s salary alone isn’t enough to cover all our expenses, medical costs, and my education fees.

MY STUDY:

I am currently a 10th-grade student at a vocational school. Despite the many challenges my family faces, I am deeply committed to pursuing my education, as I believe it is the key to a better future. I am hopeful for support to help me complete my studies over the next three years, so I can secure a job afterward and assist my family. Your help would make a tremendous difference, thank you!
