I would like to thank the office (Chamber of Commerce) for the assistance that I have received which will help my family and my kids who are going to school. I worked at Seafood Gourmet but it was closed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But now we are starting again but it's not the same as before, only three days now. I am happy that I have received this assistance for my family.

I would like to thank the Government for this assistance. It will help my family, especially now during the pandemic. We have received this assistance from the Government and would like to thank them for their help. I received $300. I was sad because there were no jobs but I was patient because it was not our country's fault, it was caused by the pandemic which has affected the whole world. It will be used for what my family needs such as food and the bills that need to be paid.
