Pensioners Project, Brooklyn

12 Sept 2009

Helping Angels CPT

Helping Angels visited the pensioners in Reyger Court in

Brooklyn to hand out food parcels to 50 needy pensioners

that are really struggling to survive.

These pensioners get R1010 in pension, with their Communicare flat rentals starting

from R530 upwards, which leaves only about R400 or less for medical exp, food,

electricity, etc, so they are really struggling!

……..

Our very own marshmallow Auntie Carol, all dressed in pink and white, same as all the curtains in her

house.She gives the best hugs in

the whole complex

The day was filled with lots of tears and joy, helping these poor

forgotten residents of Reyger Court brought much happiness to our

hearts.

Just look at this smile from uncle Paul… even though he didn’t have

any shoes!!

Some members of the group even went back on Sunday to give Uncle Paul and his flat a makeover!!!
