Knowing a loved one will never walk again is bad enough ...

Not being able to afford the wheelchair that would give them a normal life is simply heartbreaking.

But it's reality for many less well-off parents – at R14 000, a motorised wheelchair is simply beyond reach.

Unless a group of compassionate people like you join together to help.

It takes just 14 people to each contribute R1000 ... 28 people to give R500 ... or 56 people to give R250 – and a disabled child's dream of freedom and independence can come true!

In fact, any amount you can donate right now online makes a difference. So please, will you show you care?

What they say ...

'I am 17 years old and I just want to say that miracles do occur. Thank you most sincerely for assisting mommy and me in obtaining a suitable wheelchair for me.'
[Rory, Bellville]

'I was totally speechless as it was the biggest surprise I have ever had in my life. What was most surprising is that it was from someone I did not even know. You must be very special, considering me for such a gift. If it was possible, I would have jumped out of my old chair from joy and surprise.' [Msa, Port Elizabeth]

'I don't know you personally but every night when I put my head on my pillow I think of you and thank you that you have touched my life in such a big way ...' [more]

'My life was completely changed after you gave me the electric wheelchair. I managed to get work at the Department of Labour, Provincial Office. In the past, I was unable to compete in the open labour market because I was immobile.' [Esau, Bloemfontein]
