I watch Top Billing on TV. I see the opulence and the way many people live in this country. I see the luxuries they spend their money on; the self-pampering and the all-important quest for image. Then I read a letter like the one below - and I weep:
The Danville Help Group
Good morning friends,
Thank you to everybody who always tries to alleviate the plight of those less fortunate than themselves. Thank you to everyone who contributes, even though times are getting tougher. Please know that your help is very much appreciated. It is never taken for granted.
The year is slowly nearing its end, and we will be starting with our Christmas program this week as well as with the distribution of the wish lists for 2008. It feels like yesterday that we held more than 20 Christmas functions for those people we support. What will this year bring? Will we once again be able to bring joy to the hearts of children and senior citizens? I hope and believe that we can.
I have started distributing the wish lists in last week. We should be receiving the first of the wish lists back from the end of this week - and then the laughs starts with a tear...
BLOU DAKKIES OLD AGE HOME
Uncle Hennie and uncle Sas passed away recently. The senior citizens are heartbroken about the double passing. We believe that time will bring healing for them.
GROCERIES
I have really been struggling for the past 2 weeks to accumulate enough food and clothing to distribute to everyone. The times are really tough and donations are very few.
I will be distributing the last food and groceries today - the cupboards are bare!! We will have to start selling some of the second hand clothes soon to be able to buy the basic bare necessities. Food donations are really urgently needed - every can or packet can make a huge difference!! We cannot even buy spinach from Andeon to distribute at the moment - the need is very very great! PLEASE HELP!!

ANDEON PROJECT
Things are very busy at Andeon. The onions are almost ready to be harvested, and there is still a lot of spinach available. I will keep you up to date with what is happening here. Please contact Arnold directly for orders:- Arnold Cell 072 709 5490
Please help us to try and alleviate the need. It is really getting worse at a phenomenal rate as people lose their jobs and homes.
Until next time,
Elsabe
