Life can change in an instant, and for Sinalo Willie, a 26-year-old mother, that moment came when she was involved in a car accident on the R545 (Ga-Nala/Ogies road).
She and her loved ones, including her daughter and sister, were returning from a church service when the crash occurred last month. Nine people, including Willie, were injured.
The collision left Willie with devastating injuries, including fractured legs and ribs. She was transported to Witbank General Hospital, where her condition remains critical, and the only lifeline is an emergency operation.
Yet, a daunting challenge stands in the way. Due to a lengthy waiting list at the hospital, Willie’s operation cannot take place immediately. Her family is now faced with the uphill battle of raising funds for her treatment at Emalahleni Private Hospital (ePH).
The operation comes with a significant price tag, totalling
R215 843, 30. Through unwavering faith and effort, the Tabernacle of Grace Christian Church and the Divine Glory Christian Movement Church managed to raise R40 000. However, there is still a substantial shortfall of R175 843, 30.
Sinoxolo Willie, her husband, shared their heart-wrenching journey: “It’s very painful because she left our three-year-old daughter, who is always asking about her mommy. My wife is a good person who loves people and fears God. I wish for her to come back home healed and better.”
He explained the hospital’s predicament: “The reason why Witbank Hospital can’t operate on her is because she is on a waiting list line which is long and full of other patients. Her doctor even confirmed that since Monday, they haven’t been doing any operations due to the faulty machines.”
The journey to recovery is long, but with a helping hand, Willie may find her way back to her daughter, her family, and the life she so dearly cherishes.

Their hopes for Sinalo’s recovery and return home lie in the compassion and generosity of the community.
