Khumalo’s operation is scheduled for the 15th of May.
Khumalo’s operation is scheduled for the 15th of May.
Apparently it is not so serious that the pins in his body cause sepsis.
A while ago he was taken to Steve Bhiko for a whole week and released again, the sister who called me argued that no doctors were available …
Three days ago his foot started to swell again after he went to George Makari for help, again he was sent away with painkillers and a moon boot …
When he arrived at my house yesterday he was weak, tired and hungry …
My request today is, to all the important people like Mr Jack Bloom who is aware of the situation …
After all, he has been working with the pens in his body since 2012
We are grateful that an operation is scheduled ultimately, but we fear it might be too late. There is no way he can do so for another month and a half.

Pieter needs some help, please!
Okay, so let’s try again …
I was forced to delete the previous post on Pieter because of all the negative comments …
Guys, we’re obviously a lot of passionate people on this page …
I’m just grateful Pieter and his family are not on fb, people here is a baby to welcome into the world soon, a new life, who knows, maybe a doctor or a lawyer or even president one day !!!
We know Pieter well enough through our journey to know how hard he works to make this a success, how many challenges he has to deal with.
This man has been through more than most, but giving up? Not Pieter …
We know they are not perfect, but who is ??
Any contribution will be a blessing, most important at this stage is more suitable accommodation, if possible less than R3000 pm ..

Update on Johannes and Samantha
update:
Samantha is doing very well, she fits in well at the center and actively participates in the program.
Johannes who was sleeping under a tree in Rachel the bear was picked up by an unknown black man and offered a room …
Caring and positivity is contagious, unfortunately hate and negativity too …
Fortunately, we have a choice that we want to surround …
Jacob needs a secondhand phone, please.
This guy touched my heart a little bit yesterday, he says he hears people get work and he does not want to pick up plastic forever, so I told him it’s very hard to search for someone if they do not have phones, because how do people connect with him when there is work ..
He says he will work for someone’s second-hand phone so we can search for him …
So if you have an old phone just lying around, Jacob will work for him …
Jacob can be found at Top Rank, President Steynstr. day or night at MMC takeaways President Steyn street.
Jacob can do paving , plastering , gardening.
He likes most of paint, he says he paints very good.
Thank you
Feedback on Oupa Desmond
Follow-up ….
Yesterday met with Sarie Minnaar and family, our angels …
It’s going very well with Grandpa Desmond, she says he’s so quiet she does not know about him …
If anybody may have very small, warm pajamas lying around, something like Long Johns, he’s so thin and small, maybe size 28-30 will be awesome …
He still pays off some money he borrowed on his SASSA, Sarie wants to buy, but I feel she’s doing so much … Anyone can help with any contribution of any kind, please contact Sarie per inbox. …

Our street people really surprised us!
Chef and I have taken leave yesterday because the thought that our street people can not make money in the rain and so can not eat – unthinkable…
Thanks to Biscuit Mecca’s regular cookie donation, we were able to hand out hot coffee and cookies in the morning …
But we were surprised to see how they still work, gathering bottles in the rain, nothing prevents these guys. They learned to survive.
We are not their beginning and end, we are only a helping hand …
My heart goes out to the elderly who are still trying to work, the mentally disturbed ones for which there is nowhere to go…
Thank you!
Thank you very much for the R1000 deposit, it is so appreciated … and it makes an incredible difference.
I was not sure if I could name your name … thank you very much.
Please keep our street people in your prayers
Hi guys I would like to ask for a prayer for our street people,
They make a living by collecting and selling plastic, cardboard, paper etc. Others are carpets and car guards, and sell vegetables and flowers. Others perform piece-jobs like removing trees and painting. This is all work that is very difficult in the rain can be “because if they are willing, the request is very little …
Besides people, there were about three people who wanted to make money donations, we did not receive it, please check with your banks, because I will not remember anyone wanting to donate something, I know crises happens, I just mention it here so you know.
Food is currently running out, and as you know, we do not sell anything !!
However, at this stage, considering the rain situation (for which we are very grateful) we may exchange non-essential items for food … please note, not necessary items.
E.g. No-one needs a wooden cot with a value of R1500, hahaha …
If anyone has a problem with this, please let me know, no opinions, if you feel I can not exchange your donation for food, please let me know.

Update on Shorty’s spider bite
Shorty’s spider bite looks better, he says it’s not that painful and hot anymore.
We pray for a shelter for our street people against the elements …
We need to find this you man.
If you see this young man in the north, he came to ask for work, which we could quickly get for him, unfortunately he did not arrive … we could help with a lunch box and shoes.
If you know him, please persuade him to take the job, his mother needs a lot of help … He is 30 years old.
Johannes needs a job.
This very nice young man calls me aside last night and says he heard I’m finding work for people and he would like to work very much, guarding cars and collecting tins is not what he wants to do for the rest of his life … I asked him, okay what can you do, he says anything, he’ll do anything, paint, maintenance etc …
I ask him, but what’s in your heart, what work do you want to do …
He says madam, I want to prepare food, I can prepare food, I’ve been preparing food for three years at Knight Rider cafe before they closed that time …
It’s so sad, these guys on the street forget their passion, and are only willing to do anything for some money.
I feel so bad that I often overlook the quiet ones (the gems), I’ve known him for more than a year, and never knew he could cook ..
Now I want to ask, even if homeless people are not your passion, just reach out to one, you can change someone’s life, without costing you a cent, there is NOT a more amazing feeling than knowing that you had something to do with restoring one’s dignity, self proud, call it what you want – and you were part because you showed interest, you gave someone hope …
Employment gives hope.
Employment says I believe in you, I think you can, now you should think so too …
Come on, let’s help a nice guy out of the street..please share if you can not help yourself ..
