“My customers say how much they love that The Big Issue cares for the environment and that’s why they’ll continue supporting the magazine. Doing this kind of work is good for me for now, as it provides stability and ensures food on the table at the end of the day for myself and my family. I come from Mitchell’s Plain, living with my four baby sisters and I am the sole provider for them. Nothing makes me happier than being able to provide for them. Prior to 2016, I used to hold handyman jobs here and there; that’s the only work experience I have. I’d love a permanent job – a no-experience-needed job – I’m a fast learner!”
