Sadness that goes with our ministry

Last year little Chuma's mother came to the Centre. When Chuma was born it was found her gall bladder was not functioning, after several operation it was found that her liver was infected and she was placed on an emergency waiting list to receive a liver at the Red Cross Childrens hospital in Cape Town. The family's finances were depleted by all the medical costs and we decided to be of assistance to them with food, clothing and linen.
We are so sad, the wait just proved to long for the little one and the seven-month-old girl died on Tuesday and her funeral is today. Our PRO, Fatima pictured here with the christmas hat, helped with the funeral arrangements and the Centre will assist in the provision of food for the funeral.
