🚨 URGENT COMMUNITY APPEAL – PLEASE HELP OUR FAMILIES
As-salaamu Alaikum, dear community,
We are reaching out today with heavy hearts to ask for your support.
As we experience extremely cold weather conditions, the need for assistance within our school and wider community has increased greatly. Feed a Buddy Lunchbox Project is committed to supporting vulnerable children and families, but we cannot do this alone.
We are currently supporting 44 orphans in our community and approximately 800 students who depend on assistance, nourishment and support.
❤️ URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE NEEDED
Ouma H and her two orphan grandsons are urgently in need of assistance. Ouma H is currently R1,500 behind on her rent, and the family is also struggling to afford everyday essentials, groceries and medical expenses.
We are also appealing for assistance for two orphan girls who urgently need toiletries, school essentials, clothing and other basic necessities.
These families are going through an incredibly difficult time, and we believe that no family should have to face such hardships alone.
