Javarney Jones is a young man from Jamaica and a full-time student. He lives with his grandfather in a small house with no running water or electricity. A little while ago, Javarney learned how to use a weed-wacker through an apprentice, who ultimately allowed him to borrow the equipment to try and earn some income through part-time work while he continued his studies. However, the costs of maintaining the weed-wacker were high. Due to his school schedule, Javarney was only able to work a few hours and could not always afford the costs.
This year, the Sowers Fund was able to give Javarney a helping hand by providing funds for servicing and maintaining his lawn maintenance equipment. As Jarvarney finishes school this summer, he hopes to expand his part-time job into a full-time business. With a regular income, he will have the means to maintain his equipment and provide for his family’s needs.
