My name is Jason, and I am an 11-year-old boy in Primary 5. I live with my single mother in very difficult circumstances. Life is a struggle for us as we live in abject poverty. My mother struggles to secure stable employment that provides sufficient income to alleviate our poverty. We often go days without full meals, and weekends are especially tough when school is not in session, as I rely on the meals provided there.

Sponsoring my education costs £25 a month, which totals £300 annually. If I can have a complete education sponsorship of £900, it would change my life. Alongside my education, a family food parcel that can sustain us for a month costs £90. This is a necessary provision to help us maintain our health and well-being.

We also desperately need beds to sleep on, along with mattresses, bedding, and mosquito nets. The total cost for these essential items is £569. My mother and I sleep on the floor, which is both uncomfortable and unhealthy.

By becoming my school sponsor, you will not only support my education for a year but also provide me with two hot meals each day, a new school uniform, shoes, and vital resources that will help me succeed. Your support can make a remarkable difference in my life and help us to begin overcoming the challenges we face every day. Thank you for considering helping me and my family.
