Relief fund for poor sick people
We help poor sick people when they cannot afford urgently needed medical treatment.
Have a heart for a heart!
The origin of this relief fund goes back to Mrs. Marjorie Clark, who, seriously ill with a heart condition, had to undergo an operation (triple bypass).
Her health insurance only covered a quarter of the costs, she had to pay the remaining amount of 35,000 Rand herself, which was impossible for her.
We promised her at that time to cover this amount.
To raise the funds for the heart surgery, we started a fundraising campaign called "Have a heart for a heart".
This resulted in our relief fund for the poor and sick.
Since then, we have been able to help various people in a similar way, both by paying for necessary medical treatment and operations and for medical aids such as wheelchairs.
We never pay out cash to people in need, but always settle directly with the treating doctor or hospital or even medical supply shop.
Sometimes we also receive donations in kind, e.g. walking aids, wheelchairs, etc., which we then pass on directly to those in need.
