Help my aunt rebuild her home from ashes

Hi my name is Olwethu Ngcibi-Lebala. I am South African by birth but currently living in Botswana with my family.

I am raising funds for my aunt who is back in South Africa. Her name is Nomfundo and she lives in a city called East London with her two sons. While she was away from the city for a few days she came back to find her home in ashes. She is a small business owner who sells clothing and small items in her community of Scenery Park. She is a single mother who worked really hard all her life for all that she had. She was heartbroken to find that everything she owned was burned to ashes and is now faced with the challenge of beginning from scratch.

Below are photos of the ruins,where everything burned down including appliances and furniture.

Below is a photo of my aunt in her house before it burnt down.

My aunt and her family are currently staying in a small single room and they rely on neighbours for food and a place to cook. Her school-going son is staying with the neighbours so that he can continue going to school.

I would like nothing more than to help my aunt and her family from this tragic situation. She is a good woman who has always helped her community grow in many ways!

I am limited in the ways I can help her because I am a stay-at-home mother and part-time student with my own family to support.

The funds raised here will go towards building her home from scratch and providing her with the furniture she needs for her home. These funds will also allow her to re-stock her merchandise for her small business so that she can continue to make a living.

Thank you for giving this story a listen. We are appreciative of the opportunity to raise these funds.
