The mother who was tied up for five hours with her three children during a robbery in Steiltes on September 30, is asking for assistance to recover her stolen car and laptops, and possible donations for her support centre for children with dyslexia.
During the incident, the robbers took 10 laptops that were used at the centre, and seven cellphones. “After the ordeal, someone donated a laptop so that I could continue to assist the children. However, that is not enough, as I assist quite a few of them. So, if we can get a few more laptops and an additional cellphone, as they took the one we were using at the centre, we would highly appreciate it,” the victim said.
She urged members of the public to assist her and the police to locate her car and the laptops, as they are her only source of income.
Those wanting to make any donations, may contact her on 082 860 3312.
