NOTHING BURNS LIKE THE COLD........
Many children has to go through this winter with blankets that’s torn and has holes in it they have to share this blanket with their siblings, some has no blanket at all and has to rely on a plastic bag or box to cover themselves, for these families it’s a difficulty just to have bread to eat, not to mention to be able to take a few rand and buy a blanket,
we have situations where children gets in to fights with their brothers or sisters over a jersey, the elderly suffers just as much we have elderly staying in garages, shacks back rooms with raw cement floors, holes in the walls, broken windows, this is elderly that the state feels do not qualify for a pension grant, they also cannot find employment due to their age and illnesses,
in a lot of elderly care centres the number of death rises in the winter time as the cold makes it difficult to fight against viruses and already illnesses,
the one thing we seldom hear about is the number of deaths of elderly during winter time who has been forgotten by their children, who lives on their own in this cold back rooms and garages, who mostly suffers because they do not have warm clothing and bedding most have illnesses such as arthritis, which is already very painful and gets worse with the cold, they will roll up in balls and just try and keep warm ending up not to be able to get up and find something to eat, most not having a proper meal to start with resulting in them getting weaker and weaker.
Winter is a beautiful season but a dreadful one for all destitute families, children and elderly, it’s the longest 3 months of your life if you have no warm clothes, no warm bedding, live in a room with raw cement floors, holes in your roof and still on top of this you have to fight off the hunger that overcomes you, where can they find the strength that they need to overcome all of this?
We need to be the change, we can give them the strength we can lift them up by providing blankets, warm clothing and warm food, please help us to make this difference in the lives of the ones who suffers so much already. The children, families and elderly that we assist is located across South Africa.
We believe in making our elderly feel special and to have them live a happy and blessed life for the time they have left on earth: they are our past, and without our past, there would have never been a future.
We also make homemade vegetable soup / stews and warm meals on a regular basis to provide for the elderly in homes and for the elderly who are homeless as well as giving blankets and winter clothing to the elderly in homes and to the children and families who are destitute.
The estimated cost to our winter drive Per Elderly / person is R2300.00
