On February 8th 2022 I again started actively fundraising again for Breath of Life – a place of safety here in East London, South Africa, that homes abandoned and vulnerable babies – but this time I’m aiming to raise R31 000 in honour of my upcoming 31st birthday (happening on March 25th) and 31st year of life.

Life is change – that’s what I keep reminding myself
January has been full of change my siblings have moved the house is so quite I can hear a pin drop it’s really strange but I’ll be more than ok I will fill my life with reading, writing, time in nature and volunteering it’s going to be great… I don’t want to hold anyone back everybody must go and live their own lives. The meaning of love is not to possess.

“Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.” — Thomas S. Monson

“Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you’re needed by someone.” -Martina Navratilova
On this International Day Of People With Disability I want to be considered in the way our world is designed -Accessibility is a necessity. Societal perception of physical differences and people with physical differences disables me more than my body does

Today is the first anniversary of the restart of war between Morocco and Western Sahara. Morocco broke the ceasefire when they entered the buffer-zone. For decades the Saharawi attempted peaceful struggle for self-determination to no avail but now it is war and my support is with the Saharawi.

Today the Miss Earth SA Leadership Programme and their partners handed over a newly- rejuvenated veggie garden to Gogos (grandmothers) living in Kliptown, Soweto and added “We don’t want to just add to your self-subsistence, we want to add to your sustainability. We don’t want to just add to your today, we want to add to your tomorrow. This garden is for you to grow, nurture and make a success of. On behalf of the Miss Earth South Africa Leadership Programme and Together with Skin Renewal, Lifestyle Home Garden, Brand South Africa, Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment, Plastics SA, AST Recycling and Interwaste Environmental Solutions we hand over to you in the form of a vegetable garden, in the form of a great opportunity; the possibility for you and your community of Gogos to prosper and enjoy.”
“Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.” – Dr. Seuss
With the Christmas season of 2021 less than two months away, I want to make this Christmas last forever by asking 46 people to make a reoccurring monthly donation of R1000 (USD67) or by asking 92 people to make a reoccurring monthly donation of R500 (USD33) to Breath of Life. This will ensure that we have enough funding to cover the basic expenses incurred by Breath of Life in their activities caring for these precious babies. You can help make it Christmas every month by making sure Breath of Life has a dependable funding source to continue the vital work they do. R1000 (USD67 ) per month or R500 (USD33) per month – whichever option you choose, we ask that you give with love in your heart. For more information or to start making a monthly donation please visit https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/forever-christmas . Note: When you donate the first time, you will be asked, “Will this be a recurring payment?” Select the option “ongoing” (in order for it to be a monthly contribution).
