We are super grateful for all the kind words, encouragement and opportunities that Ali have been exposed to.
Ali is finding the journey exciting and he hopes to pursue a career in modeling. So far he is currently being groomed ( a work in progress).
Ali needs all the gigs he can get to afford his basic living expense. While we are leveraging on these opportunities to find him a paying job, we would be like to solicit for funds to get him off the street to safe space while he pursues his new found career dream in runway and modeling.
Our target is $10,000
Breakdown:
Accommodation:
(2years rent ) for a self-contain apartment, home appliances and the rest would be used for the start up of his own metal scrap business .
