I want help with my son

I want help with my son

My bills are not very big - not light or water - and my rent is just $3,000 for the month. However, I need some help with my son. I need $6,000 for his snacks, fare to go to school and lunch money. I also need about $10,000 for groceries.

My reason for entering this competition is because I am not working at the moment and I have been surviving off my savings for the past year. This bit of assistance would also take some pressure off my sister who helps us. Please consider me, as I would highly appreciate it.

Wouldn't you like to be bill free for a month?

Well, THE STAR has the answer to that question with our new competition called 'Bill Free'.

As the 'People Paper', we have been around for decades and we have also seen the plight of ordinary Jamaicans. So, in this bill payment competition, 'Bill Free', we want to help some of our readers to pay their bills on a monthly basis.

Simply write to THE STAR at starbillfree@gmail.com or send a message to our Facebook page, Facebook.com/JamaicaStar, giving details of your financial struggles, disclose you bill amount for the month and tell us why we should assist you.

After the entries have been shortlisted, the stories will be published in THE STAR and posted on our Facebook page. Thereafter, the public will have a chance to decide who is most in need.
