Help Epilepsy SA for persons with Epilepsy or disabilities by Donating a new or gently used blanket for Fighting winter Chills for our residents in frail care
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Many of the people we serve at Epilepsy South Africa Gauteng Branch are not only living with epilepsy, but are also frail and in need of extra care. The current chills of winter have brought a colder season, unfortunately worsening their health and making them more susceptible to colds and flu. We fear July may be even worse. Unfortunately, our branch lacks the resources to purchase blankets for these individuals. Donating a new or gently used blanket would make a significant impact on their lives. Keeping them warm will not only provide comfort, but could also help reduce the number of cold and flu attacks they experience. We can assure you that any blankets donated will be distributed directly to those who need them most. We'd be happy to send a follow-up email with pictures or a thank you note from the beneficiaries, if possible. Thank you for considering our request. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these individuals this winter!
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
