Help Me Stand Again 🙏

My name is Raphael Njoroge, a graduate from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, where I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Control and Instrumentation. Despite my academic qualifications, I have been unable to find a job since graduating. To make ends meet, I have taken up odd jobs, doing everything in my power to provide for my young son and loving wife. Every day has been a struggle, but knowing I have them by my side has kept me going. Their happiness is what drives me forward.

But on the 4th of October, 2024, my world was shattered😭😭. I had been saving up for months, penny by penny, with the hope of buying a posho mill to establish a small business that could finally give my family some financial stability. It was a simple dream—a dream of putting food on the table consistently, without worrying about where the next meal would come from. But all my savings were wiped out in a cruel scam. A man from Nigeria took the last of my money, and with it, he took away the hope I had for my family’s future.

In that moment, I felt crushed😔. The weight of failure, of letting down my wife and child, became unbearable. Dark thoughts flooded my mind, thoughts of ending it all because I felt I had nothing left😔😭☠️⚰️. But then, I looked at my son, I looked at my wife, and I realized I am all they have. If I give up now, who will be there to protect them, to love them, to ensure they have a future?

I am reaching out, humbled and desperate, appealing to anyone who can listen and understand my situation🙏. I don’t want to give up, and I don’t want my family🧑‍🍼 to suffer because of one cruel scam🫥😞. I am asking for your help to raise enough capital to purchase the posho mill that will provide a consistent income. This business will be my way out of despair and into stability—a small step toward giving my wife and son the life they deserve.

Please, if you can, help me stand on my feet again. I don’t want to submit to the darkness; I want to rise above it💀☹️, for the sake of my family🧑‍🍼. I am asking from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, your generosity, and your support.

With your help, I can turn this tragedy into the beginning of a new chapter for my family.
