Dear Sir/Madam

A DISABLED FAMILY SEEKING HELP

The great cause for concern to write this letter is looking for financial assistance of US$2900 to pay Bulawayo City Council. We are a disadvantaged family made of four persons, one is our son without a disability, I am visually handicapped, my wife physically disabled and daughter 1 year two months old born with one eye and the other eye with a partial eyesight meaning she is visually handicapped.

We lost our accommodation in 2012 due to disability discrimination. We were left homeless and this almost cost the life of my wife who survived death by a whisker as she few ill and was admitted at Mpilo Hospital.

We approached the BULAWAYO City Council with our plight of accommodation and it was considered ahead of over 100 000 waiting list applicants who were on the waiting list some  as back as 1982. We were never being on a housing waiting list for our plight greatly touched them.

In 2013 just after a year from the day we brought our plight to Bulawayo City Council attention we were allocated a residential stand in Luveve 5 Bulawayo. The stand Number is 9714 Luveve Gwabalanda Suburb Luveve Engutsheni 5.

We were ordered to pay a cash deposit of 1700 and we only managed to raise 1100 which we paid and remain with a total balance credit of US$2900. Which we are looking for your assistance of a helping hand of your organization in any way you can for a mile’s journey starts with a single step and is greatly appreciated.

The assistance will be paid straight in to Bulawayo city Council.  The stand council account is 530971400 payment through the bank. The Council banking details are:

City of Bulawayo
Bank Barclays Bank
Branch Code 2157
Account number 6315015.

We currently reside at a temporal accommodation we got from a well wisher. The Southern Eye Newspaper published our story and had the Head Line A DISABLED MAN SEEK HELP the Newspaper contact numbers are 09887070 or 09887071 and 09883185 it was written by Linda.

I and my family reside on the above address and we can be contacted through the above contact information. We are free to meet you physically as a family so that you see truly that we are  disabled persons in need of great help who are self representing themselves after we learn from our time of presenting our plight to the Council that there is power in personal representation for we must speak to be head and call for help in our time of need the formal way.

Your assistance will go a long way in brightening our future as a family of disabled persons and bringing our accommodation problem to an end..

Thanking you in anticipation

Yours faithfully
