BACKGROUND: Larissa Kruger from Centurion receives dialysis three times a week as a state patient, while she waits for a lifesaving kidney transplant. This has led to her losing her job and income in October last year. She is the only provider for her daughters in Grades five and six, after losing her husband. Larissa could not keep up the house payments and moved to a house in Delmas, where she can temporarily stay until it is sold. Her children are in school in Centurion and may have to stay with friends during the week in order to stay in school. A mom of one of her daughter’s school friends reached out to Good Morning Angels to help Larissa and her children with some financial relief while she battles with her illness.

ORIGINAL REQUEST:

Good morning

I know a single mother (Larissa) from Centurion, who has kidney failure and needs a transplant, but has no medical aid. 
She lost her husband and then lost her job in Oct last year due to having dialysis 3 times a week and not being at work enough. 
She has 2 daughters (Grade 5 and Grade 6) and they had to vacate their home.  
She has not had any income and it’s proving difficult finding a job in the current state the country and her health is in. 

It’s proving harder and harder to make sure she can get her girls to school and keep them fed.  Electricity is a constant concern as well and I am not even sure what the medical expense situation looks like currently.  
She is proud,  but has resorted to asking people for money and I know that is breaking her down even more than the pain she is in daily. 

We try to help, but have family that needs assistance as well, so I am hoping that Good Morning Angles can help her a little bit, just to make it through this month. 

Kind Regards, 
Madelein Laubscher
