Each year the Home uses many products from food to cleaning,
stimulation to maintenance. If you feel that you could buy
us some of our requirements, please contact us so we can send
you a copy of our requirements listing to see what we need.
We also have a 'Projects list" which we have set out
here for your perusal. We would love to undertake them as
soon as possible, once we receive funding. If you feel that
you could be of assistance with these projects - please do
not hesitate to contact us.
So if you would like to sponsor or part sponsor a particular
project, please click

Some of our major projects...
FIRE AND SMOKE ALARM SYSTEM
We were recently inspected by the Fire Department and they have advised we need to install a fire and smoke alarm system.
PAVING THE ROAD/WALK WAY TO THE EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY POINT ON OUR FIELD
It can be quite a task to go on a 4 X 4 track with a wheelchair! When we take our Residents to the emergency assembly point on the field from the various sections, the road/walk way we go on is very bumpy and can cause harm to our Residents. We would like to pave or 'smooth' out the road so that it makes evacuating our Home a lot safer.
PAINTING THE OUTSIDE OF OUR BUILDINGS
The original part of our Home - which are the two Convent structures - are in dire need of a fresh coat of paint.
ELECTRIC FENCING
Security is becoming a major issue and we are concerned for
the safety of our disabled residents, particularly at night
time. We would like to erect an electric fence around the
whole extent of our property.
We have received a quotation of R41,831. Once again we can
issue a Section 18A tax receipt for the full amount. If you
are interested in assisting us with the erection of the electric
fencing, please 'click

PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT
We are in desparate need of one heavy duty treadmill for
our physio room. Ours have unfortunately given up the ghost!
The residents are totally fascinated with the machines because
they can walk for miles and miles while staying in one place
- all this while receiving the necessary excerises from the
physio's. The prices for treadmill vary and if you would like
us to obtain a quote for you - please let
us know.
RENOVATIONS
Our buildings are old, and the time has come for renovating
and refurbishing the different sections. We believe our residents
who mostly live here 365 days a year deserve bright, well
maintained living areas. We have identified our sections for
which we would like your assistance with:
Main Home flooring: Many people know the Main Home
as being the old Convent. This area houses the severe and
profoundly disabled residents. With all the 'traffic' including
the wheelchairs being pushed about - the flooring and walls
have taken a 'knock'. We would like to replace the vinyl on
the floors and walls and replace it with tiles. The walls
would need to be tiled approximately half way up to protect
them from being damaged by the wheelchairs. |
