They often have to share 1 blanket with their siblings. Some have no blanket at all and have to rely on a plastic bag or box to cover themselves. For these families, it's a difficulty just to have bread to eat, imagine having to take money and buy a blanket! We have situations where children get into fights with their brothers or sisters over a jersey! The elderly suffers just as much. We have elderly living in garages, shacks, back rooms with raw cement floors, holes in the walls, broken windows. These are the elderly that the state feels do not qualify for a pension grant. They also cannot find employment due to their age and illnesses. In many elderly care centres the number of deaths rise in the winter time as the cold makes it difficult to fight against viruses and established or existing illnesses. One thing we seldom hear about, is the number of deaths of elderly during winter time, those who have been forgotten by their children, who live on their own in these comfortless, cold back rooms and garages, who mostly suffer because they do not have warm clothing and bedding. Many have illnesses such as arthritis, where their already very painful condition gets worse with the cold. They will roll up in balls just trying to keep warm and often end up not even able to get up to find something to eat. Many, in fact most' do not have a proper meal to start with. Consequently, they get weaker and weaker, until they die a cold, painful and lonely death. Winter is a beautiful season for many of us, but a dreadful one for all destitute families, children and elderly. It is the longest and most awful three months of one's life if you have no warm clothes, no warm bedding, live in a room with raw cement floors and holes in the roof. And to add to it all, still have to fight off the hunger that overcomes you. Where can they find the strength needed to overcome all this? We need to be part of 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 suffer so much already. The children, families and elderly that we assist are located across South Africa. It Costs us +/- R1800 per month per family for their food parcels that include healthy balanced meals. It Costs Us R 800- R1200 for a family of 3, for blankets and at least 2 jerseys and pants for each family member. The fundraising will be done by asking for a R 100 donation towards our, "Hope for warmth" project. You can do a bank transfer to help us save on costs so we can help many more. In return you will receive a tax (Section 18A) invoice to claim back from tax and a Helping Sa Warmth Hope ribbon that we hope you will wear with pride, knowing what a difference you have made. If you are doing a donation through the bank, please reply to this email with your details and postal address to ensure you receive your invoice and Hope ribbon. Examples of what your R 100 donation WILL DO: Feed a child / elderly for 3 days / 1 pair of warm shoes and socks 1 Winter pants / 1 Jersey 1 Jacket Warm bedding/ Blankets 1 Child will be able to take the bus to school for a week and no need to walk over 6 km To view our NPO and Section 18A certificate please visit our website, while you are visiting please enjoy our photos and videos.
