She is in the Tswane District hospital …
Some concerned are welcome to go to visit,
It turns out that she has not received any visitors to date .. (under correction)
Samantha Smith now needs support, and caring people around her.
If you are one, please visit her.
(Unfortunately, do not know what’s going on)
Update:
Never received any feedback from available rooms in Pretoria North. People, Desmond will pay, there are also angels who have offered ..
If you know of a neighbor with a wendy or outside room, whatsupp me, I will talk with them and not mention your name.
We have also received no feedback from someone who can accompany the old people to apply for ID, s and I am willing to pay for your time. I will get their details tonight and someone offered to to help with identification of ID numbers.
Also, no feedback was received about Samantha’s well-being, but did not find the family, no information about where she found her, big headache …

If I see him, I cry, it’s just so …
Also about some others, like uncle Chris etc ..
I want to tell you about Uncle Desmond ..
You will remember that all his stuff was stolen one day, but he struggled to town and sorted all out, he will get his SASSA from next month again.
That’s not what I want to talk about …
Uncle Desmond was a respected man in Pretoria North, he is very affectionate, people who know him say he was one of the hardest working people they knew before his stroke.
He is paralyzed in his left side, but he is still self-sustaining and asks no one for help …
His whole life is in a cold drink crate.
During the day he sits next to Nando’s, on the stairs, nobody asks anything, because he has nowhere else to sit.
In the evening, someone carries his crate with blankets and earthly possessions to Blue Bull paints to sleep there, it’s his daily existence …
He loves Pretoria North ….
People from Pretoria north I beg you, because he begs me every night, he wants to rent a room / wendy, just for sleep, he will not be bothering you, he can no longer get up and down with his crate.
Please help with some shelter, where he can safely lay down his head and where he can return to every night.
Unfortunately, his SASSA does not allow for thousands of rands for accommodation, we are looking for an outside room, wendy anything in the north ..

Just so you know, your donations bought sweets for the five old people on the street today…
Three street people died in one week.
Billy, Peter, and last night this uncle …
He went to sleep and just did not wake up again, we still wanted to find a safe haven for him. This uncle was blind in one eye, always silent, never said a word …
And we still do not know what’s happening to Samantha after the ambulance came to her last week.
It’s not fair that people die without feeling how it feels to sleep in a warm bed with a full stomach …
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.

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.

As you know, Anna’s Billy passed away.
Anna is renting a room with her sister.
Things are a bit tight, but as soon as I get my car, I’ll look at the circumstances.
Anna is currently a car guard at Old Top Rank for an income because there are now expenses where she stays.
If someone has a more stable position for Anna in Pretoria North, it will be great, something like packing shelves or cleaning work, processing vegetables, such type of jobs please contact me.

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 …
People often ask how we do it because we do not like asking…
Here’s an example of how we do it: We actually do nothing …
The Lord is in charge, He takes care of angels like this to keep the pots full and keep us in the streets. People donate and bring out of their own because they want to.
We are so grateful for every thing and every cent that keeps this project going, but I just have to mention that many people just join the page nowadays so they can see what is being donated, or what they can gain.
For that reason I no longer disclose any donation It was always so nice to say thank you to people on the page. Nowadays, if I thank a donor the donor receives messages for help or money or prayer – not cool, people …

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.

Andre has lifted himself out of his circumstances, he has been sleeping on the streets for a long time before he decided it’s enough and seriously started working as a car guard at Choppies, please support him.
We are happy to help them with donations because they try, they also make a plan to improve their own lives and collect their donations themselves and don’t wait for us since our car is broken down.
