Ek gaan nou die laaste stukkie in Afrikaans skryf, want dit is my spreektaal en daar is soms dinge wat ek nie so vinnig en maklik in Engels kan se nie - Al wat ek vra is hulp met hul maandelikse hospitaalplan se geld - nee, ek jok eintlik - ek vra ENIGE hulp - Maak nie saak wat dit is nie - want ek kan dit nie oor my hart kry om my ouers so weerloos te sien en te weet dat hulle oorgelaat is aan die genade daar buite nie - Na meer as 15 operasies die laaste klompie jare is ek self basies 'n nul op 'n kontrak om hul te help - ek sukkel self om net my menger vir die koekies se bak aan die gang te hou - die het meer streke as 'n klein paarweke oue hondjie - meer kan ek nie doen nie, maar nadat ek my laaste week agter die rug het met 'n gesukkel met my Kenwood van jaaaaaaarrre - weet ek net dat ek elders vir hul sal moet antwoorde kry - want die le nie by my nie - Die lewe het snaakse maniere om vir jou lesse te leer en ons leer en stamp daagliks ons koppe - ek het gese dat ek nooit soos my ma gaan bak om die pot aan die kook en die kinders op die sportveld ens te hou nie - en vandag staan ek self daar .......Asb ek hoop nie ek is nie te laat nie - dalk is dit Sy tyd om een probleem van my skouers af te neem , maar nie my wil nie Sy wil...

The eldest of 5 children - and grew up as a very close family - times were wonderful - I remember my tickey (two and a half cent ) pocketmoney on Fridays.......and boy you coud buy chips, some sweets and still got change - My parents never had money to throw around and everything that which was not a bare necessatity - was not part of the shopping list! The one thing they gave me, was happy memories and lots of things to remember - times that no money can buy and they were there for us if we needed them -
Years went by and healthwise my mom who was one of a homecraft shop's ladies , who got the big brainwave to start a new shop in the northern surburbs of Cape Town more than 30 years ago - money to help families survive, keep women busy so that they could help their husbands in the struggle to keep the roof over their heads......I lived in that house, I said never - and now I am one surrounded by biscuit and cookie-crumbles the whole day - but they sucseeded - I do remember how they borrowed money for some members- taught them how to bake a delicious milktart and the shop is still running full steam ahead, but the only difference is that the ladies who started the idea - are either dead or the others are struggling to keep ends meet.....

I am writing this letter on the early hours of this Sunday morning - not even knowing if I am at the right place - but at least I try - She is so much smaller and healthwise so fragile, always was the one who tried to keep ladies from fighting if they did differ, and never would I thought that there will come a day where I know that there is just money for their exspenses for the next 4 months....A brother who cannot come back home, because if he come home - there won't be enough untill the end of the year - If this the Christmas whish website and I am at the right place - please ( I know many people do not havemoney to live from - but she worked so hard to learn people to earn money and help themselves - she did not give them fish when they said they was hungry - no she taught them how to catch the fish -
No luxurious - no presents for her grandchildren, no money for clothes - and so I can go on and on.........where will be next year if there are no money for the oldagehome, the hospital plan and believe me - for years they already sit in the que in Tygerberg Hospital to get meds.........Are there a chance to help them - even with foodvouchers for food?????????? I wish I do not have to write such a letter but I - myself are struggling to make ends meet with 3 shildren and cannot do more ......let me know if I do need to write to someone else please =- You know what - one of the ctrange things is that she always bought her bakery stuff from supermarkets and now when she need them - they have so many to give to.......
