Hello.  My name is Austen Sadie Jeffrey.  I am 18 years old.  My Mom and Dad adopted me as an infant from an orphanage in Russia.  They brought me to Canada.

When I came to Canada, the doctors discovered that I have a disability.  I have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.  This has affected my ability to learn.

My Mom left me when I was 8 years old.  My Dad raised me all by himself.  On November 30,  2015 my Dad died very suddenly.  He had cancer.

This month I will be leaving my home in Hamilton and moving to Port Colborne to be closer to my family.  My brothers have found me a small apartment.   I would like to  further my education.  I want to be able to work and support myself.  I could use your help for my education and making ends meet.

Thank you for your support.
