Blessings galore for Wings of Inspiration
Wings of Inspiration's two frail care centres in Wilro Park and Helderkruin were once again blessed with extensive support from community members and local businesses this Mandela Day.
According to marketer Natasja Steenkamp, their day started early, setting up their customary outdoor area where donors who chose to visit on the day could meet both the staff and residents.
'We had a wonderful day,' she says. 'Our residents were spoilt rotten with delicious snacks and lots of attention from our visitors throughout the day.
'The generous donations we received will make a massive difference.'
At the Roodepoort Record's visit to the Wilro Park facility, residents were winding down after an eventful morning, enjoying a cup of tea and playing a board game in the lounge.
Residents at the Helderkruin facility were a little more adventurous, still having a great time reminiscing about the day's events on the veranda, with 90-year-old Sheila Little, as always, the life of the party.
'We had so many people here this morning,' says caregiver Lizzy Smit.
'The ladies were very excited about all the visitors and the heaps of attention they received throughout the morning.'
