Madam, your daughter is only 21 …
I also preached to her tonight, just as you have already done many times.
I would like to mention to you with children, especially daughters, kicking them out to “correct themselves”: Make sure you know what’s happening in Pretoria North, because you have no clue, mom.
And if you’re lying awake and worrying tonight, call me to tell you where she’s going to sleep tonight.
Oh yeah, and if you’re hoping she’s going to get her right by sending her into the streets, together with the people she hangs out with tonight, it’s all the way to ruin.

What can I say, we get something for everyone in donations! If only I can convince the Chef to let go!
Everything is given away, from a horse for the little one at home to a headboard going down the street, thank you, these people are willing to come by foot, I appreciate them so.
See there, not only did they bring a huge bag of soy mince for us, (I mean really big), they also knew we did not feel like cooking and they were so right because I was hard packing clothes … is that not amazing.
I was just wondering what I’m going to cook for the kids, and here they bring an awesome ready cooked meal. If anyone ever wondered if God exists, just follow this page…
Thank you beautiful people.
The absolute highlight of the week !!!!
Where do you start thanking people for such a love gesture?
Sarie Minnaar took in oupa Desmond without conditions …
I have honestly never met anyone who is so comfortable with people, this man is treated like a king for the first time, and he deserves it, for many years he worked very hard here in the North. After his stroke everything changed and he was forced into the street.
Yesterday we went to pick up his last good stuff that he stores everywhere for safety – these old people are abused everywhere.
He borrowed a thousand rand on his SASSA last month as he did not receive his. Even though two ladies on the group donated almost the exact amount to him, he was so robbed … he has to pay back R450 every month until June’s, now that is bad, it’s almost double. I hope but his information is wrong.
This is a concern as it forces old people to keep borrowing to keep going, while they are getting so little already.
He also saved the rest of his money with the vegetable Tannie, got there, only to be told she only had R160 of the R1000 she “kept safe” for him ..
He puts his good walking stick and clothes in another place, and the little boy did not want to fetch it.
I had to cry when Grandpa Desmond said “no more 5 o clock” getting up and did not know where to go.
Yesterday he slept almost the whole day because for the first time in many years he was allowed.
No elderly person earn to spend their last years on a shop stoep to be chased and humiliated.
He was so so excited about the television yesterday, and he has to get used to the fact that his belongings are safe.
Sarie, your days will be blessed for what you did here, I’m convinced.
Thank you for all the donations, we were able to quickly set up his room without running around after bedspreads for bed and bedding, bedside table, TV etc.
Thank you, Lord, for sending this angel on our way.

Conrad got work !!!!
The details are a little blurry, but it’s in Lavender Avenue, spoke to his new employer, we are very grateful …
Thank you for all prayers and shares …
HELP !!!!!!
We look like hillbillies !!!
The boss does not want to know anything about asking someone to take away some items for oupa Desmond, that’s so embarrassing !!!
Yes, you read right, the Lord sent an angel with a place for grandfather Desmond, and not far away, in Akasia … will tell you later, first we need to move this !!!!!!! Can someone help, this does not look safe?

Uncle Willie is going through deep waters …
Uncle Willie came to Pretoria with the promise of work which unfortunately did not realise. His mother stays in a hostel here in the north.
This is something that is very common nowadays, people are offered work and do not realize what that person gives up for it, travel to the palce of employment, and only to be told “Sorry we will keep you up to date or in mind …”.
His wife is waiting a hole without water in anticipation, and Willie sleeps on the street ..
Please people, can we not help this man – he knows.
Willie can do petrol & diesel mechanic work, CO2 welding, code 14 and PDP and have already made furniture from pallets …
This man will only be to your benefit, and it’s only him and his wife ..
Please help, he is despondent …

If anyone sees the guy, please guys I’d like to help him get a job, he does not have a working phone, if you see him and you have an old phone for him, send his number for me please. He wanders in Pretoria North and sleep on the street where he is allowed.
And if you think it’s a tall order, see how the Lord works, because he’s sending someone on his way, with a phone, and we’re going to get him out because people do not belong in the street.

NOT ALL PEOPLE LOOKING LIKE BEGGARS AND ALL BEGGARS ARE STREET PEOPLE.
It came to my attention yesterday that many white men walk around and beg and many people simply assume that because they are drunk and look bad that they are street people.
I want to ask you, if these healthy young men beg from you, tell him where he can get food at night because they are always supposedly hungry – if he is on the street at night, he will get food, we have so many points around the area, he will find one close enough to him where he can get food, he can only ask. Unfortunately the chance is slim that he will come.
White people who are still on the street are very few. We nowadays have food left where at times it was too little at times.
You do not have to support beggars with money and food as we already provide them with food. Instead, you need to help find jobs if you want to make a difference and not just moan on facebook. If you live in Pretoria North start acting and help us!
Care-groups of Pretoria North, stop dishing out food parcels for your needy families, rather find them work. I know it means time and money, but guys, you do not help anyone providing lunch boxes every week. During the day these guys walk and beg and then people say Ruth & Cenci draw them to the North! These guys stay in houses people, they have been in the North for a long time, we did not draw them here.

Conrad also lives on the streets in Pretoria North.
H does piece jobs for income, so he would like to have something permanent and get off the street.
This young man was very concerned about his cleanliness when we took this photo last night, and did not want to look bad.
He passed code 14 license (pdp unfortunately expired). He can do any kind mechanical work he says, diesel & petrol, diffs and gearboxes.
Please, people give the young people in the streets a chance on a future.
Conrad & Divan currently share a phone 0797816895

Hi you, this young man wants to work very much, he is so neat, even though he sleeps on the street, the man also has heaps of experience going to waste on the street with piece jobs … can anyone give him an opportunity to get off the street and to get on his feet, his whole life lies before him …
Divan has 12 years of experience in commercial and residential construction work, he was already sight agent and MD foreman, licensed and PDP (unfortunately expired)
And then he tells in detail that he can do everything and picks up his resume, and you can hear he has a passion for this …
He would prefer to stay in the north as he has contact with his minor child.

This morning when I took food for him I found him sitting down on the stairs. So I said, not a day later than today, I will get him a room and still nothing after going from home to home , asked, everywhere …
Can I just tell you how poor people are abused here in the north, a room for one person R1200?
It’s no wonder people are so poor, what about old people who only get SASSA, what should they live if room / wendy costs them R1200?
No wonder people squat anywhere …
We are looking for a room for Uncle Desmond, if he can pay R500 a month, he has a R1100 ear for food, which is less than most people’s meat bill …

Cookies for Africa !!!!
Thank you for your continued support every month !!!
What began as a treat has become a necessity …
These cookies are sometimes the difference for somebody starting their day hungry or not …
People sometimes forget that when they pick up a person for piecejob, that person has to work on an empty stomach before he gets his daily wage that afternoon.
Now that’s where the cookies come in …
In the morning there is a row of people in front of my gate asking for something to eat before they can start their day.
May you be blessed for what you do for less privileged people.
Without a NPO number, without having to claim back from SARS, and without having to be advertised, they just give.
