Dear good people of Austria
My name is Joseph Gnabikan and I am from the northern part of Ghana.
My parents gave birth to 8 but unfortunately 3 died of one illness or two and we are now left with 5 boys now. My parents are into small scale farming just like most of the neighbours in the locality. The life in the north of Ghana is quite difficult because of luck of frequent rain fall which is making the farming activities not reliable. My parents couldn’t attain any good formal education and a such do not have any other possible way of getting a job and could not support our education in that regard, however, I managed to go a bit high in education with the help of some philanthropist and have gotten a job as a teacher. Because my parents are not able to fund our education, and my brothers are also very good academically, I have no choice than to share all I end with them just to help them also go to school and now one by name Isaac Gnabikan is in a college where he will be completing in the next two years, while James has also gotten admission to one good secondary school after performing very well in the Junior level. There are two others remaining but they are still in the elementary school and they are twince they are Schadrack and Meshack.My problem is now the load is getting too much on me and I can not help it out so I taught of trying going to the university with the hope that after that I can get a better job and will be able to help the family better and also some people who will be in need of help in our society but now the university in which I have admission is charging so much that I can not pay and could not also pay for my younger brothers. The university is charging much and you can see the charges accurately in the form as we have scan it and I am able to pay up to 50% of the cost which of course is not enough since the fees of my brothers are also there and my poor parents can not do any thing about it.
WHY I REALLY NEED HELP
The reason why I am desperately in need of help is that
I can no more carry the load alone
I believe I can also help other people when I have completed and then have a reliable job
I can be confident that then my family or younger brothers will get also education especially the 12 years old twince
I will also be able to take of my children when I then have a good job after the university and they will not have to stop going to school because their father is not able to pay school fees as my parents are not able to pay and we have to ask for help or stop schooling.
In view of the little I have made known to you, please I and my whole family will be very grateful if you can help us in any way within your capacity, ability and will.
FORMS/ WAYS OF HELP WE ASK FOR
Please there can be more than one way of helping in this regard
We will be grateful if a family or any individual can adopt any of my brothers in his education and help
I pay my fees three times a year if you are interested and will like to help my in that way I will appreciate it
I will also be appreciative if you do not want to adopt or take upon yourself any task but will give any amount of money at any time you want. Please I want you to have the feel that you are not force to do this but I will be very happy, thankful if you can show concern in this case
PROMISE I WANT TO MAKE
I sincerely accept the fact that my parents made a very big mistake especially my father, knowing that there was no money in the house and that he is not able to take care of the children, he should not have given birth to so plenty children. He even has two wives and the other woman apart from my mother has also 4 children making 9 if not for the fact that 6 are dead we would have been 15. The promise I want to make is that I have seen that it was a mistake and so will not repeat it also. So please note that it was a mistake our parents made but we are in need now and not them so since we the children did not do it our selves I plead that you kindly help us.
My university is taking 4 years and to conclude, I will be very very grateful if you can help in any capacity. Thanks very much because I hope you are touched and you will do some thing
