Help Mustard Seed Tree raise R70,000 for Gadgets for Free Online Counselling

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Imagine this moment for a second. You’ve spent weeks building up the courage to finally reach out for help. Your heart is racing as you click the link to your first online counselling session. You’re nervous, but you’re also hopeful. This could be the day everything starts to feel a little lighter. But then — the screen freezes. The counsellor’s face becomes a blur of pixels. Their voice crackles, then cuts out completely. You try again. Refresh. Log back in. Still broken. That fragile moment of courage slips away, replaced with disappointment. You close the laptop and whisper to yourself: “Maybe this just isn’t for me.” Sadly, this is the reality far too many of our clients face — not because they don’t want help, but because our counsellors are working with outdated laptops, shaky internet connections, and headsets held together with tape. And yet, despite these obstacles, our counsellors show up, session after session, pouring their hearts into every call. They believe in people. They believe in hope. They believe in change. Now, imagine if we could give them the tools to match their passion. That’s why we’re raising R70,000 to upgrade our gadgets. With this, we can purchase new laptops, reliable headsets, webcams, and other essentials that transform a glitchy, frustrating call into a safe, private, uninterrupted space where healing can happen. 💡 Here’s what your gift makes possible: • A student battling depression won’t lose their train of thought mid-sentence because of frozen screens. They’ll feel truly heard — perhaps for the first time in months. • A mother overwhelmed by crisis will see and hear her counsellor clearly, creating the sense of calm and safety she desperately needs in that moment. • Every single client will know they are valued and respected because the experience of connecting with a counsellor feels professional, stable, and uninterrupted. This isn’t just about technology. It’s about dignity. It’s about making sure every person who reaches out for help walks away thinking: “I matter. Someone cared enough to listen to me today.” And here’s something important: your donation also gives back to you. Mustard Seed Tree is a registered Public Benefit Organisation. That means all donations qualify for a Section 18A tax-deductible certificate. In other words, not only will your gift change lives, but you can also claim it back from SARS at tax season. ✨ A win for the people we serve. A win for you. ✨ When you donate, you’re not just buying a laptop or a headset. You’re giving people a lifeline. You’re investing in the power of human connection — the kind that can stop a person from giving up, the kind that can restore hope, the kind that can save lives. 👉 Will you help us raise R70,000 to keep hope alive, one conversation at a time?
