MY son and his friend were cycling in Kloof and his friend went over the handle bars after pulling the brakes too hard and broke both wrists, badly. A very kind gentleman who saw the accident brought both boys to our home and left the bicycles safely with the security guard at the boom gate. Thank you for your assistance.
After a botched operation at a government hospital, a very generous doctor and anaesthetist, redid the operation on Thursday, 15 October, pro bono, to remove the pins, realign the bones and re-pin. Thank you for your generosity.
On Tuesday, 13 October, a karate student of mine had two men try take his bicycle away from him in Pinetown. He was able to fight them off, and motorists came to his aid. Thank you for stepping in and assisting.
Often we only hear about the atrocities that happen. It is so healing to know that there are still wonderful, caring people out there, willing to help a stranger in their time of need.
