Campaign Story
The time has come for me to make the most serious appeal of my life. I'm going to be as frank and straight up as I can. I need to raise money and I need to raise a lot. Calm is slowly being restored to South Africa, but the province of KwaZulu-Natal is in ruins.
Our supply chain was completely destroyed and it will take time for that system to be re-established. Those of you who know me will be well aware of how hard I've tried to provide an honest account of the riots in my community and now I need help to secure my existence as much as I can.
This is not a gentle situation and so I will not use gentle words. The damage done throughout KZN is on a scale that even I as a hardened, born-and-bred South African have been traumatised by. As a white man with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, I already had very limited employment opportunities and now, none exist at all.
This is not an attempt to profit from chaos, it is simply a reality that if I don't get a significant amount of help from those outside South Africa with stronger currencies, my living situation could quickly become unsustainable. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Medical complications

A new need
Update posted by Lachlan Nicholson at 01:24 amThis campaign has been dormant for a while because I have been able to get by and don't want to ask for money without proper cause.

The first update
Update posted by Lachlan Nicholson at 04:00 pmIf I'm asking you to contribute materially to my crowdfunding campaign, then you have a right to know where the money is going.
