800 displaced – a hopeless situation?

A fire recently tore through the Thembeni informal settlement in Du Noon, destroying the 165 shacks which 800 men, women and children called home.

The Archbishop visited Du Noon, where people were desperately trying to rebuild their homes. These families lost everything they’ve ever owned, including basic necessities like clothing, food and hope.

Will you help the people of Du Noon rebuild their lives?

It was humbling to see the community welcome the Archbishop with joy, even in the midst of their suffering and loss.

Won’t you offer a helping hand to the displaced and the disheartened people of Du Noon?

Families are grieving the loss of their homes. We need to assure them that they’ll be able to recover everything they’ve lost.

Please, will you support the 800 victims of the Du Noon fires? With so much damage and devastation, they need the compassion of friends like you to begin the healing process.

There are young and old in critical need of clothes, jerseys and blankets. They need food and building materials too. Won’t you open your heart to bring them comfort … and hope?

It takes time to heal after such a tragedy. They don’t have the resources to start again – but you could help them get what they need to rebuild.

At the very least, you could give them hope that all is not lost.
