Hello, I am Jan Piere M. 34 years old, and I live here in the Philippines. I am the son of the late Alfred M. a German citizen. I would like to ask for help for the education of my child, Aiyah B. M., who is 3 years old. I am currently unemployed due to a mental illness that makes life difficult for me. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide financial support if possible. I would like to kindly ask you for possible assistance or if you might know of a foundation that could help individuals. I apologize for the difficulties of living and being unemployed here in the Philippines, especially while struggling with my mental illness. Sometimes I have faced discrimination due to my skin color, but I am trying to survive for my family. I hope that you can help me. Thank you very much.
