Gratuitous Financial Assistance to Durban

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out in hopes of receiving help from those who are well-off. I am in a wheelchair due to the amputation of both my lower limbs. I am classified under disability group 2 and receive a minimal disability pension of 11,440 rand. I’ve incurred loans and debts for prosthetics in the hope of becoming more mobile, as doctors assured me it was possible. Unfortunately, the operation was not successful, and I am unable to use the prosthetics.

I have a small outbuilding that lacks heating, and with the cold weather already here, I am in need of firewood and coal, which have become very expensive. My yard is in disrepair, making it difficult to navigate with a wheelchair. I need to replace the fence and gates, and the outbuilding itself requires repairs. Additionally, I need funds for medicines, which have also increased in cost.

I would be grateful for any assistance and support you can offer. I can provide documentation, photos, and any other necessary information to verify my situation. Please feel free to contact me by phone or arrange a meeting. May God bless you all with health, peace, and kindness!

Please help me, anyone who can. I’m pregnant with my third child, and I don’t even have money for medicine. I’m living in a house without heating or sometimes staying with friends. I’m due to give birth soon and don’t know what to do. Fortunately, my older children are still with my ex-husband, but I want to bring them to live with me, and I don’t have the means to do so. One child is 9 years old, and the other is 6. Please help me. Absa Group Limited 4274320036717356

Good day! I am a student at a medical university. To be honest, my health is fine. I work in my free time and I’m not lazy. But, as you know, student wages aren’t much. It’s just enough to cover accommodation and clothing. I really want an iPhone. That’s why I’m asking for financial help. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am struggling with a significant debt from a previous marriage, amounting to R60,000. With my current salary, I am barely making ends meet. I am raising a child on my own, and my ex-husband does not contribute any child support. This debt prevents me from living peacefully. My bank account is blocked, and a portion of my salary is being garnished. I don’t know how to survive on the little that is left for me and my child.

Hello! I’m a retired teacher and former military personnel, working nearly 12 hours a day at a school. I work with children as the head of the Mark Twain Children’s and Youth Film Studio. Within the studio, I help kids with diction correction, and manage reporting, photography, and videography, with constant rehearsals and filming of children’s TV plays. Unfortunately, the funding for all this is zero. Luckily, I managed to buy expensive photo and video equipment and brought it to the school. Thanks to our hard work, my team of school teachers and I have consistently won first places in all competitions. The Ministry of Education regularly uses our material.

I’m about to launch a new project, a unique performance called “Looking Glass,” which I began before the pandemic. We need unique stage costumes for this performance. Despite reaching out to the Ministry of Education of South Africa and other organizations, we still require 100,000 rand to purchase and sew these costumes. Personally, I’m not asking for anything for myself but hope for the support of those who are willing to back this project.

In South Africa, it’s unfortunate that people involved in charity, patronage, donation, and sponsorship often go unrecognized. While grants are an option, the financial stress involved can be discouraging. In the past, many organizations sponsored individual schools and received recognition for their generosity. Now, however, it seems that the state doesn’t provide any support for schools. I invite you to consider my proposal and rise above as sponsors, especially those whose earnings far exceed the modest salaries of teachers. Our school would be deeply grateful for any support in staging this performance. The costumes will also be invaluable for future productions. As a token of appreciation, the name of our financial partner will be acknowledged in various publications as a patron of the arts and a supporter of our school.

Sincerely, Yakov Bogdanovich.

Please consider contributing to our cause. Here is the bank card number: 2202 2056 2367 5367. Kindly note, fraudsters and other unscrupulous individuals, there are only 10 rand on the card.

Hello, I urgently need R4546 for iron infusions, specifically Venofer 5 ampoules. I’m two weeks away from payday, and I need the treatment now as my haemoglobin levels are critically low. I’ve reached out to family, but no one is able to assist financially. If anyone can help, I would be deeply grateful. Thank you very much in advance to those who can respond.

“I have taken out several loans and can no longer repay them. I’ve sold everything I worked hard for, and all I have left is my mobile phone. Despite selling everything, I still owe a large amount. I need to raise R63,000. Since I am not officially employed, banks are not providing any assistance.

I am reaching out to anyone who can help. I am in a desperate situation.”

I found myself trapped in a cycle of debt, taking out one loan after another with high interest rates. My debt has now ballooned to 300,000 ZAR. Debt collectors constantly call and threaten me, claiming I’ll be jailed for fraud. I’m terrified, especially as I’m raising a child alone. I used to earn 50,000 ZAR as a taxi driver, which I thought would help me repay the debt. However, my child fell ill with meningitis, forcing me to leave that job. Currently, I earn only 10,000 ZAR, which just covers food expenses. Card number: 5228 6005 6493 2640.

Good afternoon everyone. I’m not trying to evoke sympathy, but I truly can’t manage without some help. For over 2 years, I’ve been dealing with constant stress, trying to pay off debts little by little from my salary, but the debts just won’t decrease. I’m unable to get any loans or refinancing due to overdue micro-loans. I take full responsibility; no one forced me into this debt situation. Please help, I believe that kindness always comes back around. I can provide all the necessary documents related to my debts in a private message. Thank you.

My grandmother, born in 1949, worked her whole life. After retiring, she took up part-time jobs and lived like everyone else. A year ago, she was diagnosed with a serious illness – a tumor under her breast. We sought help from local doctors and were given prescriptions for ointments and other treatments, but nothing helped. A month ago, she collapsed, literally. Now, she is completely immobile and barely able to speak.

The doctors decided to operate, and she stayed in the hospital for 24 hours for tests, but we were told it would take two weeks for the results. One night, she fell from her bed in the ward because there weren’t enough medical staff to assist her. The next morning, we had to bring her home ourselves. At home, she is under constant supervision.

We can’t apply for disability yet as we are awaiting the surgery results, after which we will see the oncologist. My grandmother’s pension is 1480 ZAR, and I earn 1700 ZAR (but I have a child, which is a constant expense). My grandmother requires nappies, vitamins, special food as she cannot eat regular food, medications, bandages, and injections.

I’m in a desperate situation, burdened with limitless debts. I’m pleading for your help, no matter the amount. Your assistance will be incredibly valuable to us.

An Absa Group Limited card linked to account number 79029093633 is in my grandmother’s name.

Hello kind people! I am reaching out to ask for your assistance. I would like to help my children by purchasing phones and school supplies for them. Unfortunately, I recently took a job expecting to earn a certain amount, but the situation turned out to be completely different, and I was left without the promised payment. I took this job to ensure my children could live comfortably like their peers. Currently, I am staying with a friend. I humbly ask for your help to cover rent for a couple of months and some initial groceries until I can stabilize my situation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We are refugees from a conflict zone, and our home has been destroyed. Currently, my children are in Durban while my husband and I are in Johannesburg. The money I earn is sent to support my children’s food needs, and I am unable to save enough for travel expenses. Our children are four and nearly three years old. We kindly ask for assistance to reunite with our children. If you are able, please help us purchase round-trip plane tickets. Your support would mean the world to us.

Good day. I have a family: my beloved wife, and soon we will have a son or daughter. Like everyone, we want to live well and not be in need, but sometimes situations change everything.

I come from a large family, and my parents live in a rural area. My father was the breadwinner, and his salary was barely enough for our family of eight. I studied hard and now work in the city as a technologist. We always managed our finances well, and rented accommodation. In 2019, like many, we decided to buy a place of our own – a flat. So we took out a mortgage. Until October 2020, things were going well with work, the mortgage, renting, and renovating our flat. However, in October, my wife contracted COVID-19, and a week later, so did I. We were both on sick leave until the end of January. During that time, my wife also needed surgery for appendicitis. With our limited work experience, our sick leave pay was minimal, and we exhausted our savings on medical bills, rent, and utilities for two places.

After recovering, I took up driving a taxi in addition to my main job to support my family. But then our car broke down, and we have no money for repairs. The flat renovation is also on hold. I’ve borrowed as much as I can from friends just to get by until the next paycheck. Now, my priority is to restore stability, repay debts, and move forward. Unfortunately, with my current salary and circumstances, this will take about a year. Therefore, I am reaching out to anyone willing to help with financial assistance, hoping to partially pay off my debts, which are around 150,000 rand.

Help Needed with Loan Repayment or Any Support

I am struggling with financial difficulties and urgently need assistance. Due to health issues, I was bedridden for a month and had to undergo treatment for a spinal condition. I borrowed money for medical expenses from various sources, not anticipating the loss of my job. Though my health has somewhat improved, I still require further surgery.

My financial situation worsened as I resorted to taking out microloans. Unable to repay them after losing my job, I ended up taking additional loans to cover the existing ones. This cycle has led to overwhelming debt, and I now face intense psychological pressure from debt collectors threatening to involve my family and friends.

I am seeking any help available, whether it’s financial aid or a loan under agreeable terms to consolidate my debts. I have recently secured employment, but I’m unable to manage the loan repayments on my own.

If you can offer any assistance, please contact me directly. My South African bank card number is 4324 9800 3886 9719, which is linked to my phone. Thank you for any support you can provide.

I was hospitalized due to a stroke and am currently in recovery. Unfortunately, I couldn’t change the meter, resulting in a debt of 160,000 rand. I have two grandchildren, the youngest being just 4 months old, and the gas service will be cut off in 5 days. I’m asking for help to pay off this debt as I’m unable to manage this situation on my own. Any assistance would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.
