“Our job is to take the broken little souls, heal and equip them to be independent.
“We have to do this in a safe environment,” she explains.
The Potter’s Haven houses 20 children between the ages of four months and 16 years old.
“We perform as a normal household.
“So we buy everything we need daily from our bank account.”
Marlene says they have two babies and their nappies and baby formula are a huge expense.
For any contributions, see their Facebook page, The Potter’s Haven, or call Marlene on 071 569 8094.
