The Mngoma Family – “kidney failure woes”
Mrs Girlie Mngoma has been going for weekly dialysis for more than 5 years. Her husband, Dze, had been undergoing treatment to prepare him to donate his kidney to her, when they were devastated by the news that their daughter’s kidneys had also failed and she, too, had to undergo weekly dialysis. To add to their problems, the Mngoma car, a 1990 model packed up on them.
Mr & Mrs Freeman then decided that, instead of them trading in their Audi A4 for a new car, that they should rather donate their car to the Mngoma’s to try to alleviate some of their plight.
“I can safely say that the Freeman’s intervention played a huge role in ensuring that my wife and daughter are alive today. My kidney has been given to my daughter – a decision that my wife made – and now it’s a pleasurable exercise to take her for treatment in our new car!” says Mr Dze Mngoma.
Isiaiah 54 – Caring for abandoned babies
Glynnis Dauth approached Bayaphambili Properties to assist her to extend an old home they used to rescue and care for abandoned and HIV positive babies. When Tony Freeman saw the conditions that Glynnis and her team had to work under, he encouraged them to try and find bigger premises. The home they were using at the time was totally inadequate for their needs.
Mr Freeman then developed a fund-raising proposal on behalf of the home, sent it to large corporates in the area, and within a week, got a call from SAPREF (SA Petroleum Refinery), who volunteered to pay – in full - for a new house, almost 3 times the size of the old one.
“The Lord has sent angels in the form of Tony Freeman and SAPREF to us. Now our babies can live in a dignified environment, God Bless them…” say Glynnis Dauth, the founder of Isiaiah 54.
