Many businesses and community members have come together to serve the community.
Sanet van Moerkerken from the Springs and KwaThema Child Welfare Society says rather than volunteering at their offices, they have requested the community to deposit R67 into their bank account.
Other businesses have chosen to help organisations such as the SPCA and Epilepsy SA Centre in Daggafontein, with work around their premises.
