Study and work

Hello everyone,

I find myself in a difficult situation, overwhelmed by debt that I cannot manage on my own. In the past, I could keep up with my loan and credit payments, but now my monthly obligations are five times more than my income.

I am behind on payments with every bank and financial institution. Unfortunately, refinancing options have been denied. I’m not asking for free assistance; I am seeking someone who can help consolidate my debts so I can make one manageable monthly payment.

Please, if anyone can offer help, reach out. I’m unsure how to move forward.

Thank you.

Please! Kind-hearted individuals! Help!!! Anyone who can. I am alone with my son, without a permanent home, moving from one rented flat to another. I work part-time due to health issues that prevent me from holding a full-time job, and I require medical treatment. I am unable to pay for housing, and I urgently need money for clothes, food, and medications. The rent is overdue, and I can’t even afford to buy fruit for my child. Kind souls, please respond! I will be immensely grateful for any assistance. You will be in my prayers! Bank details: 5336 6901 8432 3469

Hello! In the New Year of 2021, I received a wheelchair from a young family, Alexandra and Michael. They live in a village as a united family with five wonderful children. Both Sasha and Michael are orphans, but they manage everything on their own! They work hard and are slowly renovating their house, but the kitchen, the heart of their home, is in a dire state, and they won’t be able to repair it or buy new furniture for a long time. I kindly ask for help from generous people, as this family always lends a hand whenever they can. Let them experience a miracle too! At least once in their lifetime! Please consider helping. Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance if you choose to respond.

Hello. I have been using a wheelchair for a long time following a road accident four years ago, and now I move with the help of crutches. I have two small children and I wish to buy a three-seater tricycle to take them to school. The cost is approximately R100,000. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I am a mother of two children living in a small village near Cape Town. I have been married to my husband for 9 years. It feels awkward to ask for help, but we are in a difficult situation. We rent a house, and due to a lack of our own property, we had to take out a loan for household appliances and furniture. My husband earns a small income, which mostly goes towards repaying the loan and paying rent. I also work, but my salary is modest and we are constantly in debt. After paying my share of the loan, there is almost nothing left. It’s very tough, and while I regret taking out the loan, it was necessary for us to manage. Unfortunately, we don’t have wealthy relatives who could assist us. Every night I go to bed hoping for a little help, but so far, there has been none. I apologize for reaching out like this.

Hello, I am facing a difficult situation. I grew up in an orphanage and have not been provided with housing. I am currently 7 months pregnant and do not receive any benefits. I am not employed and have no place to live or means to buy food. I have a share in my grandfather’s house, but it has been deemed uninhabitable because my uncle destroyed everything, leaving only ruins and bare walls. Please, if you can help or know someone who can, I would be grateful for any assistance.

Good day, esteemed readers. My name is Yuri.

Housing issues are a significant challenge today. Nearly every second family in the country could benefit from improved housing conditions. Many people spend their lives renting and only dream of owning a home. Others find themselves unable to secure a mortgage for various reasons.

WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE MONEY OR FULL AMOUNT TO BUY YOUR OWN HOME?

There are countless stories of people in South Africa facing these issues.

A couple of years ago, I found myself in a similar situation. I moved with my family from a small town to Johannesburg. We sold our home and began renting. Despite earning a decent salary of R120,000 per month at a construction company, I decided to apply for a mortgage. I gathered all necessary documents and applied to several banks, both in person and online.

Imagine my surprise when I was denied by all the banks, despite having R1 million saved and a stable income. There was no explanation given.

Later, I discovered that some overdue loans from my youth had negatively affected my credit history.

Understanding the gravity of my situation and unwilling to spend years paying R30,000 monthly for a rental, I began searching for alternatives.

And, as fate would have it, my prayers were answered.

There are non-commercial organizations supported by the government, which for over six years have been helping citizens purchase homes and improve their living conditions without involving banks or other commercial entities.

To qualify for a home purchase through these programs, you do not need to meet specific criteria such as:
– A certain level of income;
– Citizenship status;
– Age, as long as you’re over 16;
– Residency in any region of South Africa.

These organizations operate without the funds for wide-reaching advertising, so not everyone is aware of their existence, despite being supported by law.

Through determination and a stroke of luck, I discovered legal articles in the Civil and Housing Codes, as well as building guidelines that led me to these programs.

I WANT PEOPLE TO VISIT MY CENTRE TO RECEIVE ACCURATE INFORMATION AND PROFESSIONAL ADVICE regarding real estate, allowing them to solve their housing issues in a straightforward and cost-effective manner without resorting to mortgages or loans. A brief business plan is available.

Hello everyone, I’m facing a tough situation. I opened a coffee shop in Johannesburg, but after a few months, I had to close it. All profits went to pay employees’ salaries and rent. During the operation, I had to contact microfinance institutions, and even after selling the equipment, I still have debts with various companies. There are about 18 of them, totaling 200,000 ZAR. Now, I work as a teacher of additional education in Cape Town while finishing university. I work with several groups of children and do part-time courier jobs in the evening, but all my salary goes either to extensions or interest on these debts, leaving no way to repay them. Whenever I get some money, debt collectors continuously call and threaten to visit my registered address, where my grandparents, who are pensioners, live. Please help me finish university, manage my debts, and return to a normal life. I promise to repay everyone who helps when my situation improves. Thank you all in advance!

Urgent dental implants needed. This is a significant expense for me as I am a regular employee, and even with two jobs, I often cannot save enough… Three years ago, I had to have 17 teeth removed at once due to a growth. Now, the situation has deteriorated. I am experiencing jaw and facial asymmetry. I can provide documentation if required.

Hello! In 2021, I fell victim to a scam and ended up taking two loans of 650,000 each, believing their promises of prosperity. Instead, I was deceived and left in financial distress. My attempts to report it to the police were unsuccessful, as the case was closed due to insufficient evidence. My salary is not enough to cover the debts, and I’ve borrowed money from friends. I live in a rural area where job opportunities are scarce, and the nearest city is over 55 kilometers away. I’m at a loss for how to proceed. Banks are calling, and soon the matter may go to court, with debt collectors threatening me. I wish to pay off at least one loan to ease the burden a bit. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN, AT NO COST.

I am the grandson of my grandmother and in-laws, originally from a region currently experiencing conflict. We have relocated and are now living in Pretoria with my mum, but our financial situation is challenging. We brought my grandmother and uncle with us, leaving behind our destroyed city. We are in urgent need of housing, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Our streets back home have been devastated, and we lack the means to secure a home here. Please help my family, who are refugees. Thank you. Contact us at: help@

I am a single mother, and managing to support a very young child in a rented apartment has been difficult. I took out a loan of 500,000 ZAR to start my own business, but unfortunately, it didn’t succeed. With my child being just 10 months old, finding a regular job has been challenging due to childcare issues. I began working remotely from my phone, but the income was minimal, and now there’s little demand for my services. I found myself taking out loans to pay off the initial loan, leading to a cycle of debt. Currently, the debt has become overwhelming. I am not asking for the full amount but at least 150,000 ZAR to settle the loans, so debt collectors don’t come after us. I am worried for my child; these collectors can be relentless.

Hello, dear readers. My name is Irina Shirobokova, and I am reaching out for help for my little daughter, Kira Shirobokova. At birth, my daughter suffered broken clavicles on both sides with displaced fragments. From the very beginning, Kira had difficulty breathing. She was discharged on the fourth day without a thorough examination. However, after a month, our worst fears were realized when she began experiencing seizures. Since August 2021, we have been in and out of hospitals with her. She has been diagnosed with West syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. Kira is currently on a ventilator in a serious but stable condition. We have the opportunity for her to receive treatment in Israel, but the cost is beyond what my family can afford, amounting to 14 million rand. I am pleading for your help to raise the money needed for her treatment. Every day is painful for her, and since birth, she has been on six different medications. The longer the fundraising takes, the slimmer the chances of a possible cure. I will answer any questions at my phone number +27 (72) 123-4567. You can also transfer donations using this phone number for Standard Bank. Additionally, there is a group dedicated to fundraising with all the necessary documents available. I sincerely thank everyone who doesn’t turn away from our plight. Small contributions can make a big difference.
