Margaret Tsele, a domestic worker at Ebenezer Psychiatric Home and mother of three, is in desperate need of donations after her shack in Kagiso burned down.
Her daughter, 8, who is also mentally disabled, apparently got hold of a lighter and lit the bed on fire. Within a few seconds, the shack was engulfed in flames.
Her children, aged 3, 8 and 14 had to move with Margaret to her uncle’s house as a temporary home for them after they lost all their furniture in the fire.
“The family is in desperate need of a fridge and bed at this moment,” said Kerry von Buddenbrock from Ebenezer House.
She added Margaret also needs a television which will keep the children busy during the holidays.
Anyone who would like to donate to this family, can call Kerry on 071 414 0501.
