I'm Aaron. I have been a cannabis caretaker since 2002 & a professional homemaker since 2014 When my wife and I adopted our son. In 2019 we had some difficulties & agreed to a temporary separation & I have been unable to see them since before Christmas.

I've been the victim of a home robbery & 2 muggings and since then I've had a difficult time supporting myself let alone providing the support for my family. Living hand to mouth, each days work covers the expenses for that day. In March, as I was hustling to pay rent for April the president announced a mandatory nation wide quarantine which means everyone must not only stock up on necessities to last 21 days but that we can't work to provide for upcoming expenses after the quarantine ends. So, money I would have used to pay rent was spent to improve my grow, keep the lights on and buy enough bread, peanut butter & jam to last 3 weeks.

Before the announcement I was positive about the future with this latest grow looking like it would satisfy all my client's needs, I would be on track back to financial stability.

I have prepaid electricity which costs on average R124 zar per. I need just R1020 to make it through to harvest at the end of this 21 day quarantine.

My rent which is past due is R8000

I estimate GGF fees to be around R2000

I know everyone has been impacted by this pandemic around the world so I'm just asking those who have been more fortunate to help with any amount unit they can, no matter how small it seems to you it means the world to me and I will be sure to pay it forward.
