Greetings everyone. My name is Nadia Bianca Uys, I am 22. I live with my mother and my two siblings. My brother is 23 and my sister is 12. Our father had pancreas cancer but ultimately passed away in September 2012 due to contracting TB at his work place. We don't have a medical aid of any sort as the plans are simply too expensive for my mother to cover every month. My mother lost her job in November 2019 due to COVID-19. Myself and my brother struggle to find work with this ongoing pandemic. My brother did not matriculate as he had to drop out of school to take care of our father as my mother worked long hours and couldn't be with him during the day. I matriculated and am currently busy with an unpaid tattoo apprenticeship. We had to give up our husky for adoption as we don't have the funds to buy food for him anymore. We are on the verge of losing our house as we currently owe R33 960 on rent. As August 31st approaches, we will be owing a total of R42 450. We have been renting our home for 6 years and this is the very first time we cannot afford to pay rent. My mother pawned her car middle February 2020 as we needed funds then to pay rent. Since then we haven't had enough funds to pay rent. My mother currently has an ongoing courtcase with her former employer as he only paid her one month's salary since November 2019 to date. The CCMA are involved as well as a pro bono lawyer to represent my mom. Her court case is currently still on hold due to the pandemic. After my mother requested the lawyer to send an email to the home owner explaining why we can't pay rent, he opened a court case against my mom. She received combined summons which includes an automatic rent interdict. The Sheriff was also at our residence, making a list of valuable items which they have the right to confiscate if we don't come up with a plan to pay the owing amount. My mother works at a craft shop 3 times a week where she receives R100 a day for us to keep our electricity on (Mr Prepaid). I have one aunt who helps us with groceries every now and again. The rest of our family members cut off all contact. I will try my best to attach scanned copies of all the documentation. I will be editing out all private information to protect the home owner's identity as I assume I can cause more trouble if I reveal his information. I ask everyone reading this to share my situation with friends and family in order to get the needed funds before we get charged with an extra month's rent on August 31st. Thank you for your time. God bless you.
