Build A Smile.

Hi, my name is Juleiga Petersen. I am 21 years old and I live in Johannesburg South Africa.

Most of you that know me know that I am a very private person and I generally would not do this but this is not about me. I have 3 little nephews aged 2, 5 and 8 who are in need of love, support and basic care.

Their parents are deliberately negligent and show little to no care. The two older ones are not in school because of lack of effort from their parents even though the oldest was enrolled in school by his grandparents, his parents decided to stop taking him to school.

I cannot just sit by as their childhood gets taken away from them and their education rights ignored. I am currently in on-going battle to get custody of the kids so that I could take care of them as I know that they deserve better. The reason for this funding account would be to help me in getting them essentials such as a bed, school clothes and stationary, underwear and socks, normal toiletry requirements such as nappies for the baby and assist me with any other expenses such as school registration fees.

It breaks my heart to know that a mother would deprive their children of such basic necessities.

Please please assist me by only donating what you can to improve the lives of these 3 little boys.
