"The struggle to create change to get the message across to my landlord Places for London is ongoing, in the meantime staying afloat is a mental and financial challenge. To continue the work, keep my customers moving and pay the young workers, some assistance is needed for the next few months. I would be grateful for whatever support you can afford, this work is important to our community make no mistake, if not us then who? Please continue to stand with me" Len Maloney, JC Motors.
