Isreal lost his father in 2022. His father suffered a stroke and died despite several attempts to revive him by Isreal's mother. Isreal and his mother have spent a significant portion of their financial resources and savings on hospital expenditures related to his father's illness. Isreal's father promised to support his education, but such promises are no longer able to be fulfilled. Isreal lost both his father and his education. Isreal 's mother is doing her best to support her children with their schooling and nutritional needs, but due to limited funds and no assistance from friends or family, the primary priority in Isreal 's household right now is food. Please think about funding Isreal to help him complete his education and no longer having to wonder when his next meal will be.
