It is with great excitement and a happy heart that I can FINALLY reveal that the Jes Foord Foundation has a car! And it is with such thanks to everyone here who #madeadifference with me! It honestly would not have been possible with out you!

It was donated by an amazing family - Ugo and Favio Surian. The vehicle was no longer needed by their family. The motor needed some attention, so JFF approached Mike Chisolm from Miclin and Darryl Coleman from Darryl’s Mechnical to get the vehicle mobile again. The funds raised on this platform, just put the cherry on the top for this project as it gave JFF the money to get everything done from registering the vehicle into their name, cost of motor parts, panel beating and bin lining done. They are now ready to take our awareness project even further than they did last year.

Comment from Jes “I would like to thank everyone that made this gifting possible, it all started with a school talk I did at Clifton High School a few years ago and Favio Surian was in the audience. So when he read the article in the newspaper he suggested to his Dad that he considers donating the bakkie to the foundation. With this donation together with the funds that Tina Le Roux had raised from her gogetfunding campaign and so many wonderful people in our province it has made it possible for us to now get ourselves on the road. Thank you to everyone that made this possible, we so appreciate you all.”

The Foundation has requested to keep this gogetfunding campaign going so that in the future anyone who wants to contribute to #getjffmobile with money for petrol and car upkeep can do so here. Every cent will be used to getting JFF out into the community so that they can help other rape survivors and run their education programs. A safe reliable vehicle is going to make such a difference!

Once again, THANK YOU for making this possible and for your support.
