Dear future Sponsor,

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce you to my fundraising campaign "ADOPT-A-GRAN"

The funding is needed to continue with my passion to supply Nursing Services to residents needing care and I would like to thank you in advance for your support

This company was founded by myself 5 years ago to assist persons in need of nursing services but unable to afford regular care facilities or persons not fitting into the current residential facilities criteria for Persons with disabilities or Older Persons facilities to have access to nursing care . There are lots of facilities available in South Africa both State Owned {with long waiting lists} and Private {very expensive}, but no facilities supplying care on a needs basis {long-or-short term} and with the current financial situation in South Africa being dire.

in the 2019 Statistics it shows that approximately 55.5 percent (30.3 million people) of the population in South Africa is living in poverty at the national upper poverty line ZAR 992 or {$ 66.13 per month) while a total of 3.8 million people (25 percent) are experiencing food poverty This was even before COVID 19 and the subsequent job losses – as you can imagine people cannot spend money on luxury items like nursing care for love ones if they need to buy bread to survive.


I started a residential or home care facility for persons requiring part time or full time nursing care. During this time I was always employed at a residential facility and used my own savings and salary to fund the running cost for food of the facility

Unfortunately I was retrenched during May 2019 due to Liquidation of the company I worked for {COVID 19} and because of my own health problems{diagnosed with congestive heart failure} I'm currently unable to reapply for nursing jobs. My savings are running out fast and I cannot carry on without your assistance with funding.

This situation is breaking my heart and unfortunately considering closing the company because I'm without an income and on my last quest for hope

I need to secure sponsors to adopt one or more of our grans and assist me to continue caring for them,

Some of the residents contribute by means of families paying what they can afford but we need money to pay for Renting of a house; Electricity, Water & Sanitation ; Food, transport for caregivers transport cost to do home nursing in the community as well as salaries for caregivers the total amount needed monthly is enormous and if I can get persons to assist with eg. the food or anything on the list it would be greatly appreciated.

Please consider giving to this cause, every rand will be applied somewhere, please do not get deterred from giving . I would really appreciate every bit of assistance from you and every prayer on this work to keep looking after the residents and in keeping the staff employed with your donations
