My name is Kira Bird. I am 21 years old and my sister is 18.
On Good Friday, the 30th of March, my father (Russell Bird) had a heart attack out of nowhere and passed away. It was very unexpected, due to the fact that he was fit and healthy.
Before his passing, he was unable to get a job in South Africa, after moving to Cape Town from working overseas. He served in the British Royal Army, at Sand Hurst, which is where he gained all his working experience instead of on completing a degree. It made it difficult for him to get a job without a degree.
Our family has been struggling without money for the past year and a half. It is a daily battle for us just to survive.
Since my father has died it is ten times worse for us. My sister would love to further her studies, but without any funds, it seems impossible to send her to University.
My mother and I are trying to look for full-time jobs, but thus far we have not been successful.
Anything you guys can spare would really be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance for your contributions.
All my love Kira.
