The Toti Hospice Shop manager, Ronel van Reenen, welcomed Ruan Buitendach and Nikky van Heerden, who offered to volunteer and help out in the charity shop.
“It’s wonderful to see that there are younger people who are willing and able to help. Sometimes, we need someone to climb on a ladder, and it’s not always easy for us [older] women to get on a ladder and take things down. We are so thankful for these two young people who came to our rescue,” she said.
Ronel is always looking for volunteers to help, and any kind of donation is also welcomed. “We are getting ready to set up for Christmas and are looking for furniture, bric-a-brac, linen and ‘whatever you have to give away’,” she said.
