Their home was burnt on Sunday, 15th January, caused by an electric spark from their geyser. They reside in Westham, Phoenix, Durban. They have lost everything.
When I say everything, I really mean everything. She is a pillar in her community. I went to high school with her daughter. We were extremely close and her mum took care of me.
Bought me clothes and packed me lunch every day as I came from a poor home.
Its not just me that she's helped, the surrounding community has many poverty stricken homes and this family always went the extra mile to assist anyone.
Feeding the community, having Christmas parties for the less fortunate kids and purchasing school hampers. Now, this family needs help and I would be so grateful if The Big Favour could lend a helping hand to get them back on their feet.
