First, I owe you all an apology,I have another fundraiser to launch.. EVERYBODY needs a home !!!
For the past few weeks, while walking towards Hout Bay, I've noticed an old car parked on the side of the road. Towels hang from the windows, and it looked as though someone was living inside. A few weeks ago, a young woman approached me and asked if I could help.
I asked her what had happened.
She told me that she and her husband managed a farm in KwaZulu-Natal. They were attacked, tied up, robbed of virtually everything they owned, and forced to flee. Terrified and with nowhere else to go, they packed what little they had left into an old car and made their way to Cape Town.
At first, I struggled to believe the situation was as bad as it sounded. Today I stopped again on my walk and they were still there so I bought them some cookies .
Cant believe .. They are still living in that car. / 3 people ..
Not a caravan. Not a truck. A car.
And they have a kid ..
A few weeks ago I gave them the only cash I had on me. It wasn't much, but today, seeing them still there, my heart broke...
Tonight I'm going to get their names and start a GoFundMe campaign. I'll begin with the first R1,200 myself.
I'm asking for your help. Not because they're white, black, poor, local, or foreign. None of that matters. They are human beings who have been through a terrible ordeal and now find themselves living on the side of a mountain with a 11 year old kid and NOWHERE TO CALL HOME ..Jolene and her boy [ H.... e ] sleep in the bakkie [ car ] , Itzy sleeps outside in the cold and Cape Rains .. not ok , G- d watches us ....
If you've ever supported one of my charity walks or causes before, I'm asking you to consider helping again.
Help me help them.
Together, perhaps we can give this family a chance to start over.
I cannot and will NOT do nothing....
