Helping a sister & child in need

All my life my older sister has always been there for me! She is always there for anyone needing a hand, whether it be someone she knows or a friend of a friend. If my sister can help she will. She has recently had one bad thing after another hit her in her life. After a messy divorce she lost her family home and her business (a pre school) all in one. She was there for a friend recently and helped him with her life savings and he unfortunately lost his life last week and in turn she has now lost everything. Her car has also given up so she doesn't even have that and without it she can't work! She is an amazing women and despite every effort she puts in something else is dragging her down. Without a car she has nothing, with no social security system in place or health care system in South Africa there is no safety net for anyone falling on hard times. She has family helping her and supporting her and her child however if we could raise this "small" amount of money it can get her  back on her feet, some dignity and her car fixed as a runner again and turn her and her son's life around. Please every cent helps and will be life changing for her so please if you can spare just a few $'s together we can change 2 people's life and give them back their dignity and self worth. If you do happen to know my sister personally, please don't share this with her as I don't want to get her hopes up unnecessarily as I don't think she could handle anymore disappointment in her life! If you know me then you will also know this is terribly hard for me to ask for help. Thank you so much for your support.
