Little Eden Society in need of assistance
“All of them deserve the best we have to give. That's why I'm hoping you'll reach out to them again by sending your Christmas contribution.”
When Little Eden Society opened its home and hearts to Rachel earlier this year, she weighed 4.2kg.
“Despite her stunted growth and profound intellectual disability, Rachel has a powerful determination not only to live but to enjoy life to the full,” said Xelda Rohrbeck, Little Eden CEO.
“Her favourite pastime is to lie in the little Lego wagon and get pulled along the pathway, greeting everyone she sees. She also loves snacks, especially cheese curls.”
Xelda said seeing how hard Rachel strives to make the most of her life makes her determined that Rachel’s first Christmas with the society will be special.
However, Rachel is one example of the 300 residents living at the society’s Edenvale and Bapsfontein homes.

“All of them deserve the best we have to give. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll reach out to them again by sending your Christmas contribution.”
Xelda said as a result of Covid-19, many of the society’s fund-raising events were cancelled.
“To make matters worse, we have not been able to allow visitors to the homes to meet our angels, witness the work carried out here on a daily basis or to be informed of our needs.”
She said any financial contribution would greatly assist the society during this period.
“Our dedicated staff will be on duty throughout the holidays to make sure children are fed, bathed, changed and occupied with toys or music or are taken outside in a wheelchair, on a bike or in the little Lego wagon,” said Xelda.
“It’s your support that provides the food, soap and clothing the toys and wheelchairs and bikes.”
