Story
Hi, I would like to nominate Kerusha and Sham Reddy for The Big Favour.
They're a family of 4. There's Kerusha, Sham and the other 2 kids aged 5 and 9 years old.
Both parents have been struggling to find a job, Kerusha has not been working since 2019.
Sham lost his job due to Covid-19, he then became in Yo Taxi driver he recently became jobless when the owner of the vehicle decided to move out of Durban.
Since then I have been helping support with food items when and where I can.

The last few months have been hard on them, job hunting, making sure they keep the roof over their heads and being there for their kids.
My heart goes out to them, they have remained strong through all this and they are keeping their heads up for their kids, they have managed to keep their older daughter in school despite all this.
Their son turned 5 years old in August but due to their current situation they were not able to celebrate.
I would like them to either get a job if possible.
Sham has experience as driver and Kerusha in Finance Admin.
If they can get help with food hampers to keep them going until they are stable with jobs or any help in anyway.
Best
Talia
