Urgent help for a family in distress

SINGLE MOM URGENTLY NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE

We understand that you have heard it all before, and I am sure that you are tired of hearing about people being retrenched, massive loss of income and unable to put food on the table. But this appeal comes from a special place and I hope that you can assist either by making a small donation or providing meal vouchers for this family in need of assistance.

Single mother of two, my personal friend has recently lost her job and fallen on hard time. Like so many others, she has had to cut back on expenses, which includes cancelling her medical aid – a single mother of two, one cannot imagine the stress that she feels every time the children walk out of the front door – will they fall, need stitches, catch flu, need urgent medical attention. One never does know what is just around the corner.

Her landlord has been phenomenal and has let her and the children stay in the cottage on his property, but, as a pensioner, he is also relying on the monthly income and cannot depend on something that will happen in a month or two or three. Although positive she will find employment in due course, she is in dire need of immediate support. Her friends and family have been assisting but as the saying goes, “we are all in the same boat” and resources can only be stretched so far.

Her monthly expenses are roughly R15000 which covers her rent, vehicle (and insurance) as well as petrol, which is desperately required to get the kids to school and attend interviews. We are humbly requesting any form of support to help this young mother to provide the safety of a roof over their head and food on the table.

Thank you everyone for reading and helping. We will be grateful for your generosity.
