Guys, you know Samantha who slept across Checkers, next to Nando’s.
I just received news from one of our street children that a week ago, a Samaritan called the ambulance for her after an incident.
Can her family or friends please contact me.

I do not think these people realize what big impact they have on this project …
Gas in general is expensive and they donate month to month and as we need gas for this project.
Without gas we can not cook for the people the street and they understand it. Without expecting anything back, we simply exchange the bottles, month after month.
In addition, their prices remain the lowest.
Gasland and Solar, Madeliefie Center Pretoria North … please support them.
Thursday afternoon, no money, no nothing … would go north, still no sign of Ironman in the north.
I asked him one day whether he’s praying. A lot he said, he’s going to church every Sunday too.
Do you know what’s amazing, he does not get angry because the hospitals keep changing his dates, he keeps going back without arguing or getting angry, waiting and waiting and coming back, collecting his plastic, taking care of his people and trying again.
Lord, please let him return safely, please give him a courage.

Look, if I had already tried to get people off the street, it was with these three guys.
Nevertheless, my way is not necessarily the correct way.
I sat down thinking how?
Okay, they wash cars in President Steyn and environment for an income. Now if you are in the North you should know very well, so I’m not going to bullshit anyone, we know where the money goes …
However, the plan is to market them as car washers and they will come to your house to wash your car, they have undertaken to purchase a phone by Saturday.
We advertise them by name (suggestions are welcome) and you call them to come to your house to wash your car. They are really good !!
In doing so, they may just make enough space to rent a room, and get some human dignity back …
Quick update …
Anna has a sister in Pretoria North she now lives with, we will soon visit and hear if she needs anything. (Once the car has bee fixed)
Billy’s sister who does not live in Pretoria is in charge of funeral arrangements, and it seems that everything is under control with it and does not need our help at this time.
Lady, the dog, has been with us for about six or seven months, after Anna felt she’d be better off at us than on the street and they could visit her.
Thank you very much for everyone’s compassion and love, you are so appreciated.
Due to circumstances beyond this mother of 3’s control, she was left to her own grace with three kiddies, they currently live in a Wendy between Pretoria North & Orchards. The children are attending school in Pretoria North.
There is already a benefactor who pays the R1500 rent of the Wendy.
Here is a big need of food, anything you can save, the baby was born recently.
In addition to the obvious needs here, we need to improve their standard of living.
Here is so much needed here that I do not even know what to ask. Certainly a fridge.
It was impossible to search for a job for her while she was pregnant but now we have to.
Previous experience includes childcare, caregiver, nursery school experience, rugby club and bar lady purchases, guys she will try anything, she is sharp, oldest is 15, 8, and three weeks …

Ruth and “the Chef” does an amazing job on the streets of Pretoria North taking care of the homeless. Everyday after work they start preparing meals for close to 200 people and then start doing their rounds at eight in the evening. Not only do they feed these people sleeping in the streets, they also find donations in all forms to clothe them, assist them with finding jobs, organise lifts to hospitals when needed, and even educate when the need arise.
There ultimate goal is to find suitable space from where they can run a shelter offering these street people accommodation and meals they can return to after their day in the sun working as car guards, recyclers, and simply walking the streets trying to find employment.
We will share some of the stories told by Ruth and “the Chef” on this page. Some of the stories will have happy endings, some will have sad endings. Some stories will break your heart, some stories you may relate to. We wil have space where you can pledge and contribute in whichever way you wish and can afford. We also will have a section where you can look through all the details of persons in need of jobs – some may be limited to their know surroundings because of a lack of transport, other may be willing to re-locate anywhere in South Africa should employment include accommodation.
