Hi to @Katie_SQ
Thank you so much for your welcoming message. I am seeking constructive feedback from the Square Community. But if there is negative critique from the Community, in which I'm sure will be varied, please be gentle. I don't want to be attacked, because my interests are done with good intentions, although I know that the site may be first draft, and that I haven't maybe done as much research as I would like to. Although I am seeking only Community Constructive Feedback, my objective with this website is, I am trying to collect from people or business's around Australia small monthly donations towards this family. So I am not asking you for money, but feedback at this time. I am trying to get the site ready. I have just spoken to a neighbour who is willing to have a look at my site. In technicalities I put it together, but it is for the interests of a Gambian person that I have spoken to over the last couple of years now. Every now and then I offer a little bit of money to him (and his family) to help them out, although every person I have spoken to of him seems to be quite conflicted about his genuinity. But often, they are conflicted with the words Gambia and money. I had even been offered some money for contribution, but had even (nicely) turned this down, because I feel they were doing this for my benefit, because they knew of me. My neighbour has just brought up 2 very good pointers straight away, (briefly looking at my flyer) and noted that Charity's local here, for Africa, that $1 will get 2 meals. He also asked if this was registered as a Charity, of which is not at this time. Being at the beginning, very small, and also I am not really intending on being a middle person. So I also won't be financially gaining from any of this. I am literally shaking a little bit, at the prospects of critique, but feel that this is important if I am to pursue this seriously. My Gambian friend 'does not like asking for contributions himself'. I actually don't know what he thinks of the website himself, as we have not spoken about it since I have given him the link. He put together some words for an initial letter. May I include this short letter? And I shall leave you with the link, if you want to look, 'we' would be delighted at your visit. I also have a survey, I believe on the last page, just in case there was negative feedback, I might handle the survey better. I am not sure if the document uploads, as I am very basic with my computer know-how. Anyway, I thank you regardless, for your time to be reading this.

Hello, I’m Jerreh.
I am living with my mother and young brothers in outskirts of Brikama Town . I lost my father due to lack of fund to pay for their medical bills. Since I lost my father I had to leave school to focus on manpower jobs with less paid to be able to support my family. I work so hard but can’t even maintain health and hygiene, I find it hard to get enough food for my family. It’s very hard for me to pay house rent some times which gives stress and worries. We have limited opportunities here in The Gambia if you didn’t finish school you finds it hard to get a decent job with good paid. The Gambia is a poor country and our economical situation is poor once you fall sick if you didn’t get fund you can get medical attention. Many woman died during or after labour due to poor medical facilities. Beside many little children are with no education lack of shelter with no hospitality and we have no where to complain. I’m looking forward to get in touch with you again
