1. Sungardens Hospice. This is where my mom spent her last weeks. The staff at Sungardens has possibly the hardest job of all. They take care of the terminally ill during their last weeks/days trying to make them as pain-free and comfortable as possible. They took such good care of my mom and I often donate clothes, furniture or other goods to them as they have a shop they sell from to raise much-needed funds.
  2. Jacaranda Children’s Home. This home cares for 250 previously abused children from the ages of 18 months – 18 years. They are a NPO and have the mammoth task of having to raise over R26 million a year to care for all their kids. One of their fundraisers which I always support is their “Festival of Lights”. A must-see during Christmas time.
  3. Women Against Rape (WAR). An incredible organisation focused on helping rape victims. Their main objective is to secure a property for victims of abuse and/or rape to be housed in temporarily while they receive treatment and counselling. They are also interested in setting up trauma center rooms at police stations equipped with toys etc. for children who have been abused. They are constantly delivering care parcels to police stations for rape victims. Such a worthy cause!
