Good day everyone,
There's a woman who approached me today in Checkers by Castle Gate Shopping Center. She's very polite and decently dressed. But with tears in her eyes she told me a little bit about her current situation. Her husband lost his job and they had to move into a Wendy house. They have no income and can't even pay the rent for the wendy house anymore. She has two little girls age 2 and 6 months. They live in Pretoria North but she says she is too embarrassed to beg there in fear of being humiliated infront of people who might know her. She wasn't greedy at all and only asked for a pack of diapers for each child and some formula for the baby. But after asking her if there is anything else she needed she asked me if i could also maybe just get a lunch box and juice bottle for her 2year old who goes to a creche but doesn't have a lunch box to take with. She also desperately needed a bowl for her for school so that she could eat porridge there, but we couldn't find one.
I would love to help this lady out more if I happen to run into her again with any donations (clothes, food, baby supplies) or if anyone happens to run into her themselves please be sure to help her out. She has redish, long hair and freckles. ❤️
