Most know our story of how we started, it's been years and many many kids have come and gone, with our special SEVEN that we have been blessed to become parents to.
We fell inlove with a house that could easily help so many, more kids especially teens, so we start planning, begging and trying to raise the money needed.
Yes it's wild and crazy, but so is our life.
So here goes nothing and everything all at once.
Please please please help us raise the money to change kids lives forever!
Needed :
£ 249470.05 or
€ 290536.36 or
$339840.41or
R5200000. 00
34667 people to give R150 and we there!!!
First off our home now we have a very long lease and it will be turned until a safe house for 6 babies and toddlers under 4yrs old, then the new farm has :
The main house, has 5 bedrooms with ceilings, doors and plumbing that works, I'll explain more later, but imagine 6 kids and Danny and i in a house with ONE bathroom for 3 yrs...
The 2 cottages : 1 will be a safe house open to families in need and the second one will house Phindi and the teens.
The 3 garages will be converted into a woodwork station where kids will be taught skills and general handywork.
The warehouse will be used by mechanics to teach the kids how to do the work on cars etc from panel beating to electrical work.
The kitchen will be used EVERY single morning mon to fri to cook for our soup kitchens as there is space!!!
At the moment we struggle with our kitchen as we build it on a small budget and with donated goods and while it works and we are eternally grateful we are physically unable to cook for more than 100 here as there is just not enough space.
But we have love and we have kids who feel it!
The office will be the matric dance room saving us R1650 in rent I am paying monthly for a storage facility as we didnt have space here...
So...
Our first 4 young adults, yes we are now on 4 with a school of kids who don't fit into main stream, also very very excited to jump onto the FREE skills training.
As well as taking in the 4 who are currently living at friends, in a garage and 2 in a petrol station store room at night.
These are NOT bad kids, they're lost kids who just need to get a break and there are another 23 after the 4 waiting...
This is the home that will bless so many, but mostly this is the little patch of heaven we all praying for.
We will continue to rent our property we have now where we will also have 6 babies and toddlers living in the place of safey there.
Meaning we would help an amount of 12 children under 18yrs of age and then have the teens too at any given time!
So we'll have up to 18 to 20 kids including young adults in care at any given time that are SAFE, WARM, LOVED and cared about.
We can't wait to break more cycles of abuse, neglect and fostercare!
PUSH ...
Pray Until Something Happens
