Personal message
My name is Zaidah Gallow. Im a mother of 5 children and currently in my second marriage. My first husband left me with 2 children and no source of income, he doesn't pay support and whenever I take him to court then he doesn't show up. My current husband had a good job when we got married and could pay all our expenses. We have 3 children together which makes 5 all together. He has struggled to build up his own company but in 2021 his company was run into the ground by the pandemic. Unable to get work contracts and clients also cancelling on him? Caused that he had to sell our vehicle and some of his tools in order to keep us afloat. We did receive help from other sources but this also was not enough to restart his business and then the worst happened when he was robbed.
We are currently trying to buy a house but need an amount to put forward as a deposit in order to get the legal aspects covered.. our children are growing up and need their own space because we have been lovong with family for the past 10 years. The space is limited and even though the family we are living with are very tolerant, we feel a need to have our own space. The 5 children are all sleeping in one room which is actually our lounge and it gets to them because they have nowhere to be but in each others faces.
We are decent people and will be very appreciative of any help given to us. We just need our own house so that our children may live a little more comfortably and in their own living space. The house we aim to buy is not in the most upmarket of suburbs but it will be our own little home so that we may give our children a bit of freedom by splitting the boys in 1 room and girls in 1 room. We will then extend the existing house with less permanent material to make a bedroom for ourselves as parents but this will also cost money.
