Helping SA's Hope for Warmth

 

Many children has 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
