Helping SA’s Hope for Warmth
Many children have to go through this winter with blankets that’s torn and has
holes in it they have to share 1 blanket with their siblings, some has no
blanket at all and has to rely on a plastic bag or box to cover themselves, for
these families it’s a difficulty just to have bread to eat, not to mention to
be able to take a few rand and buy a blanket, we have situations where children
gets in to fights with their brothers or sisters over a jersey, the elderly
suffers just as much we have elderly staying in garages, shacks back rooms with
raw cement floors, holes in the walls, broken windows, this is elderly that the
state feels do not qualify for a pension grant, they also cannot find
employment due to their age and illnesses.
In a lot of elderly care centres the number of death rises in the winter time
as the cold makes it difficult to fight against viruses and already illnesses,
the one thing we seldom hear about is the number of deaths of elderly during
winter time, who has been forgotten by their children, who lives on their own
in this cold back rooms and garages, who mostly suffers because they do not
have warm clothing and bedding most have illnesses such as arthritis, which is
already very painful and gets worse with the cold, they will roll up in balls
and just try and keep warm ending up not to be able to get up and find
something to eat, most not having a proper meal to start with resulting in
them getting weaker and weaker.
Winter is a beautiful season but a dreadful one for all destitute families,
children and elderly, it’s the longest 3 months of your life if you have no
warm clothes, no warm bedding, live in a room with raw cement floors, holes in
your roof and still on top of this you have to fight off the hunger that
overcomes you, where can they find the strength that they need to overcome all
of this?
We need to be 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 suffers so much already. The children,
families and elderly that we assist is located across South Africa, there is so
