Help Support a 74-Year-Old Widow

Donation protected
I am raising funds to support my mom, a 74-year-old widow, who is facing overwhelming challenges while trying to make ends meet in rural Namibia.

For decades, she and my late father worked hard to maintain their farm. Sadly, after my father passed away in 2020, life has become increasingly difficult. The farm has been up for sale for almost 5 years, but there has been little to no interest.

Her Current Struggles

  • A severe drought in the region has devastated the land, wiping out most of the livestock and leaving her with no income.

  • She is caring for my 53-year-old brother, who has been unable to work since a tragic motor accident at the age of 23.

  • The farm is 150 km from the nearest town for proper medical services, making access to resources and supplies very costly and difficult.

  • Her vehicles, which are a lifeline for reaching town, have also broken down and require urgent repairs.

Despite these challenges, my mom continues to do everything she can to hold things together. But right now, she urgently needs help to cover basic daily needs, transportation, and living expenses until the farm is sold.

For those who may be interested, the property is available for sale and could be a wonderful breakaway or retreat spot in Namibia. I will provide the details if you are interested.

How You Can Help

  • Donate: Any amount, big or small, will make a direct difference in her day-to-day survival.

  • Share: If you can’t contribute financially, please help by spreading the word—both about her situation and about the farm being available for sale. Contact me for details.

Your kindness and support will give my mom hope and relief during this very difficult time.

Thank you for opening your heart to my mom and our family.
