The Angels Reintegration Centre for Ladies hosted a fundraiser in the first week of November. One of the non-profit’s owners and director Carmen Gerhardt detailed some of the needs the organisation has where she spoke on how she did not want to be in a situation where she would have to turn anyone away due to lack of resources.
These are the items on the organisation’s wish list:
- Weekly fresh produce – “We like to keep our ladies healthy.”
- Protein (poultry, fish, meat and soya) – “Our ladies would love to cook fresh foods.”
- Toiletries (tampons, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and ‘things that make them feel pretty’) – “Our ladies have an abundance of other personal hygiene items.”
- Cleaning supplies – “As our ladies like to keep their home spic and span.”
- Toilet paper
- Washing powder – “When our ladies smell fresh, they feel fresh.”
- Bed linen
- Cat food – “To feed our feral friends and to keep our feral cat colony programme running.”
- Braai
- Refuse removal
- Printer cartridges, stationery, arts and crafts
- Drug-screening tests
- First-aid supplies
- Washing machine
- Christmas gifts and goodies
- Motor vehicle – “For daily assistance, wouldn’t that be something!”
