Hi, my name is Zantel and I am raising funds for my dearest friend Heloise. Her dad has been battling advanced COPD and has now been admitted to hospital where he only has 15% lung capacity left. We are desperately trying to raise funds to allow Heloise to travel to South Africa so that she is able to see her dad before he passes away.

It is only a matter of days before he slips into a coma or suffers heart failure.

Heloise has been such a strong figure in the South African community in Canada, always standing ready to help others. She started Out of Africa Deli & Sweets years ago when they immigrated to Canada and has been pouring her heart and soul into getting her small business up and running.

Having a small business myself, I can relate how all your earnings and savings goes into building it. Let's support Heloise during this unimaginable time, and help get her to see her dad and say goodbye.

If enough funds are raised, she plans to travel Tuesday, December 10th.
