Hi, my name is Brendan Carelse and im raising funds for my family to extend our skilled worker visas in UK and to settle in UK. We are a God fearing Christian family of 5, myself, my wife Alison and our children Taegan, Quillon and Leala aged 12, 9 and 10months old respectively. Our youngest daughter was unexpected and born in UK. I am a working man trying to give my family a better future as I am originally from South Africa where crime is the order of the day. 2 of my brothers were shot and killed and I didn’t want my kids to experience that life where your life is lost due to mugging your phone or a disagreement on the street. I need the funds to be able to keep myself and my family here. My salary alone at the moment covers our daily living with rent, food and our basic necessities. We don’t have any family in UK for support so my wife have to stay home to look after the kids while I work. We currently live in a rented 2bedroom 1st floor flat in Keynsham that is not ideal for our family. We’re a football family and I volunteer as an assistant coach for Saltford FC u/13. I am a retired footballer from South Africa and love coaching to give back to the Keynsham and Saltford community that is so kind to us. The boys settled in nicely in their schools and with life in UK. Through the grace of God I am grateful and lucky to be here and would like to make UK my new home. Please consider any donation and know that it will go to a really good cause. Thank you in advance.
