The Gifts of Mobility & Dignity

Everything about being a Sweetheart for The sweethearts Foundation is absolutely wonderful… it’s simply awesome! Grin

I was so honoured to be able to handover a brand new Wheelchair from The sweethearts Foundation to Sthembiso… who was overjoyed, and so very humbled to be the recipient of such needed assistance.

The tearful glint in his eyes, as his brother Muzi carefully lifted him up and gently placed him in his new wheelchair was such a wonder to witness, and I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to be part of this special day.

When I discovered that Sthembiso had been the victim of a home burglary in December, where he was tied up and gagged, and all his belongs were stolen including his clothes, and shoes… and even his art supplies and paintings… which he sells as his only source of income, I asked my family and friends to help… and of course they did. Thank-you.

We were able to fill a Heart to Heart bag with pyjamas, toothpaste and toothbrush, soap and deodorant… and some treats of chocolates, biscuits and chips. Thanks to Gail, we were able to buy some groceries… which Sthembiso explained were desperately needed as they had little food while trying to recover from the loss of all that was stolen. Thanks to my mom for the quilt… both Sthembiso and Muzi were enthralled by such a beautiful gift.
