Motala Heights resident grateful for precious gift

The community united and raised R 32 000 for a prosthesis leg.

MOTALA Heights resident, Mana Govender received a precious gift just before Christmas from the community. Mana had her leg amputated and was in need of a prosthetic leg to be able to walk again.

Kogie Pillay from Motala Heights and her team spearheaded a charity drive and managed to raise the R32 000 needed to pay for the prosthetic leg.

“Mana went to the surgeon on Saturday, 10 December 2016 and had a fitting. We had a presentation and handed over the cheque of R32 000 to Mana,” said Kogie.

Grateful Mana thanked everyone who helped raise the money. She said it was her Christmas gift and no other gift with the best wrapping with a bow on top would have made her happier than this prosthetic leg.
