Education Fund for my Nephew
Donation protected
Hello my name is Juan, I am from Mexico city and I came to this beautiful country 13 years ago with so many hopes and dreams. When I was younger I was looking an opportunity to experience to live and work in a different country. In September of 2007, I got the amazing opportunity to come to Canada. By taking that opportunity I left behind my parents, my sister and my nephews in Mexico City.
I grew up in a loving and beautiful family with so many values. In July 2005 I finished university in which I studied Culinary Arts and after which I worked on my thesis to get my degree in Mexico City. My parents worked hard to ensure that my sister and I were provided with a proper education . Although my dream was to move away and start a new life in Canada it sadden me to leave behind my parents but with their love and support they encouraged me to follow my dreams. Mexico has a beautiful traditions and is so rich in culture but isn't easy to live, the population is huge and the work opportunities are very limited. In most cases, mine included I was unable to work while in school and therefor like most family’s in Mexico the school costs were paid by my parents.
I am setting up this fund to help my family and especially my nephew Fernando. He just started university this summer and was excited to be accepted into this university. For the last year he along with his younger brother and sister have been living with my parents who have done all that they can do to provide for them and ensure that they are well taken care of. Unfortunately my father passed away on Aug 27, 2020 from health complications as result of having Covid-19. He had been providing the payments for the university to ensure that he had the well needed education for ensuring a successful career.
My mother who as well has been recovering from breast cancer also contracted Covid-19, she has since recovered. Not wanting to add stress of sorting out the estate and grieving for her loss, I have taken in it upon myself to help my nephew out by providing the payments for the university.
What I am looking for is some assistance in helping with the monthly payments until he is able to get a student loan or some sort of financial assistance, and with the current pandemic going on that has proven to be a lot more difficult. If you could be so kind as to help out in any form that would be most appreciated.
I am doing this in honor of my Father JuanJo, who has alway put the needs of his family ahead of anything else. This is my tribute to him and all the wonderful things he has done for me and for my family and all those he loved.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
