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 …
Tonight our Ironman is sleeping somewhere on the street, between somewhere and nowhere, hungry, cold, forgotten, rejected, a proud man, a man who works hard for his family every day, a man let down by his country chasing after money and earthly enrichment and forget about its people ..
Hospitals who can look into your eyes and send you away with your pain into the streets, without caring.
Because you’re a hobo..a malala pipe, a rataba, boemelaar and squatter …
The spouse, the father is not spotted. Like this your proud, your humanity is being is trampled by a society that can only look away and not face you.
Thank you very much to Graeme & Crystal for your transport and time tonight.
Many thanks to Githea for the bread donation, it was so welcome with the soup ..
Tonight one of our street kids said the most beautiful thing for me. I’ve been looking for him for a job without success, so he decided to get a job on his own. He is doing maintenance work (permanent work), but actually has security qualifications
Tonight he thanked me but I remind him that he got the job himself.
His words:
But you believed in me …. I’m crying right now.
Riaan offered his transport and time last night to help us out delivering food to about 200 street people in Pretoria North.
Thank you very much for this unselfish act …
Ns … this awesome bakkie is for sale, and it drives like a dream, with a lot of loading space.
Riaan does general construction and maintenance work.
Call Riaan if you are interested.

Billy died of natural causes during the night in the park.
Anna is going to need a lot of support, he was her everything.
Hi guys,
If anyone can afford a pot or two for Glen and Karen, and a two plate stove it will be great .. Glen does recycling, any steel, plate or scrap metal will be appreciated, this is his only income that he cares for him and his wife.
They no longer sleep on the street, and need some help.

Crystal & Graeme, our angels for the evening, they transported our food and sacrificed their time to feed the Pretoria North street people, thank you for offering your help… You are awesome !!
peopledocare.co.za is a brand new extension of the already popular and well-supported facebook group people do care/mense gee om.
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.
