Benjamin Okoro: I’m Reaching out for Help in Finding Job Opportunities, Grants, Support or Connections that Could Lead to Employment

I am losing my sanity of a late because of my inability to provide for my family. I lost my job a few months ago, just a month before my wedding in March this year. I was hopeful at first that a new one will come in but as days passed by with rejection and non acknowledgment from different organizations, depression began to set in. what looks like a set back which should be resolved within few days has turned to 8 months of struggle and pain. I’ve used up all my savings trying to get back on my feet, and it’s getting really tough.

I am a  project manager with 5 years of experience in the NGO sector, I also have experience as a film maker and a farmer which used to be my part-time thing , but the lack of opportunities and financial strain is making it difficult to go back to them because everything requires money to kick off. I so much believe that getting a job, a remote job to be precise will really help me to kick off my hustle as a farmer and film maker. A remote job will give me flexibility and stability to quickly recover back on time.

The hardest part is seeing the impact on my family. My wife has been incredibly supportive, but I feel the weight of not being able to provide for my household is stressing her out of a late. Her mannerisms towards me of a late has changed drastically but can I blame her? She has been the one holding us together for a while now so I understand her actions hence my reason for soliciting for help in this community. The inability to provide for my family is seriously affecting my mental health and my relationship with my loved ones. My house rent is currently due since last month, I've been posting my landlord that I will get back to him by this month end, truth is, I don't even know how to go about it.

I’m reaching out for help in finding job opportunities, grants, support  or connections that could lead to employment. I’m determined to get back on my feet and provide for my family. I would really be grateful if I am helped. Here is my contact details 08063356600 for verification. I can disclose my location if need be so you can verify for yourself if what I am saying is real.
