Yoga Instructor receives some relief from Darren's Tip Jar

Loading player...
Samantha is a kids yoga Instructor and mother of 4. With schools closing due to the lock downs and no extra mural activities, she has been left with no income and struggling to pay rent, let alone afford food.
Without any other source of income (other than maintenance which is never paid on time) she has had to receive food parcels from friends to feed her kids. At the beginning of lockdown, Sam went through a very tough divorce, and not long after, the place she was renting was sold and she had to find a new place to stay during lockdown.

Listen here for more of her story and how she reacted to our contribution.
