My name is Francois Ferreira. I am an unemployed 60 year old with a wife and 2 kids. I have been jobless for the last 20 years as I have multiple sclerosis.

My daughter has left the nest but my son still stays at home. He is 22 years old and unable to find employment as he has no experience. Strange how companies want experience, but nobody is willing to give you any.

My wife lost her job last year and we are now in a major financial crisis. Although my wife is applying for jobs on a daily basis, due to her age there has been nothing.

I have found an opportunity to start my own business on –line, but need cash to purchase a website and live for the next few months while the business builds. The requested amount is for the website, a printer which will be needed and day-to-day living expenses for the six months. Any funds received over and above what is needed will be donated to an animal charity.

We, as a family, are very involved with animal rescue and have even fostered 6 puppies aged 10-14 days that were abandoned. They were with us until they were 8 weeks and then homed through an animal shelter.

We are always willing to help someone who needs it if we are able to. Now we are looking for some help.

My first major concern is the R 30 000.00 needed to cover our February 2020 expenses which is urgently required before 25th February. This amount also includes the amount for the website and printer to get the business started.

New Business

Update posted by Francois Ferreira at 08:22 am

Ok, so we were able to start the new business at the beginning of March. Just our luck, it is an online store importing from international destinations. We had not even finished our launch and the lock-down came into effect. Excellent timing. Story of my life. Extreme bad luck.
