Appeal for help for Nancy and the AIDS Orphans

Hello Everybody
I have never done this so directly before and I am sorry and find it extremely difficult to do it now but times are desperate out in Africa for Nancy and the children and so after much thought I am asking for a little extra help.

Due to the awful circumstances last year with the corrupt men, the court cases and ultimately our having to re-open in a garage so we can continue to feed the children and run a crèche, we have fallen on really hard times, including Nancy herself who at the moment has no income coming into her own family.

Nancy and the orphans and Nancy’s ever expending household, 13 now, are in need of funding for food for all of them, for electricity and bills and money for burials too. We just lost another grandmother last week, due to the extreme cold and lack of adequate clothing, bedding and housing. The little boy who she looked after has no other living relatives so Nancy has taken him to live with her. Nancy is also desperately trying to get donations in order to bury this lady. It is shocking and saddens me daily that they have to live like this.

Not having enough food to feed all the orphans who come twice daily is Nancy’s greatest worry. I send money as often as I can but I am a small charity and cannot keep up with all the needs out in Africa and I too am worried about them. Please help if you can. No amount is too small but will help enormously.

You have all supported me for a long time now and I am very grateful and I am asking now if you could please help me a little more in order to ease their lives. Because any money I send now goes mainly for food , I am not in a position any more, at the moment, to buy blankets or repair the shacks which took a desperate battering with the hailstorms and heavy winds and rains earlier in the year. We need help right now.

Thank you for your support and I send you all my best wishes. Donations can be paid through Pay Pal (see Make a Donation) or by cheque to be made out to:
"One Life"
and sent to:
One Life Charity
