“Time is the most valuable thing that a man can spend.” — Diogenes

On January 20^th 2018 I entered the Breath of Life house to drop of diapers and I sort of forgot to leave – 7 years and 139 babies later a lot has changed but my love for and commitment to the babies in that nursery is stronger than ever.

Thank you to Michelle Rielly who first welcomed me into the Breath of Life house, loved me and believed in me with me, thank you to Abigail Boshoff who continues to make me feel welcome in the Breath of Life house and thank you to our team of baby caregivers, staff and volunteers who love and look after our babies

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead

Last night my Nisha 67 Campaign benefitting Breath of Life ended with a net amount of R47 943 (I think I will only know the final amount by Monday but I’m approximately correct)(the gross amount is R51 559). A HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to my family, friends and even strangers who came together to make this happen.

A special mention must also go to Tom & Tori Horse and Heart Stables who did a 22 km horse ride on my behalf in aid of Breath of Life on September 16th- thank you soooooooooooo much.

BackABuddy will transfer the money to Breath of Life on October 14th and Breath of Life will use the money for baby care essentials as well as to cover the operating expenses of the house – electricity, water, salaries, etc.

Tom and Tori Horse and Heart Riding for Breath of Life and Nisha

Leave a reply

I’m very excited to announce that on September 16th Tom & Tori Horse and Heart Stables will be riding 22kms on my behalf (from Cintsa West to Cefani and back) in aid of Breath of Life. The ride will aim to raise R67 000 for Breath of Life and we are currently at R33 844. This ride is significant for me because my new dream is to horse ride but it would be unsafe for me to do so without a specialized saddle and so while we work on that Tom and his team will be riding on my behalf in aid of Breath of Life . Please support this ride at backabuddy.co.za/nisha-67
