Donations request

At this time, I am appealing for assistance please if anyone is able to help.  If you can donate, please specify that it is a donation and for what (if anything in particular listed) you would like us to put your donation towards.  Receipts will be shown where requested for any purchases using your donations.

• Petrol: This month is a very heavy month once again for my son and I because I will be attending three student workshops in Pretoria… 11 days and a possible 2 more days with setting up and meeting with my Mentor there.  Each day would cost me approximately R150 for petrol to and from Pretoria.  (I am told that our petrol prices will go op even more this coming Wednesday 6th June) I am requesting help towards the 11 days traveling R1650. 
• Vacuum cleaner:  We have not had a vacuum cleaner for over a month since ours packed in.  It is vital to help keep our house dust free as I have breathing allergies and my son has occasional lung issues since his operation some years ago which left him with only 1/3 of his lung on the right side. I have checked online for prices at our store called Game (South Africa).  The prices range from the cheapest, around R349 to more expensive ones from up to R2000 +
• Underpants, socks, extra work uniform (only has two shirts), clothes for my son (larger size – pants 44 and shirts xxx) – second hand or around R2000 to purchase new (I am also in great need of clothes, but feel it’s more important to see to all these other needs first please)
• Lawn Mower:  Since our dear neighbours moved recently, we no longer have their help with our outside lawn which includes our other older neighbours shared portion of the lawn.  We would regularly mow their lawn too if we had a mower.  I have checked the prices online for Game’s lawnmower prices, which range from R1310-R3000 +
• Bath to shower conversion:  I am sure I can get it done for less than R5000 if anyone can help with that please.  It is practically impossible to get in and out of the bath when I have gout attacks in my feet, and now with arthritis gradually developing in my hands, particularly affecting my lower thumb joints, it’s hard to lift myself in and out of the bath these days without hurting them more.
• Door handle and lock:  R500 needed for a new door handle and lock for the 2nd hand glass doors which was put onto our new hobby room a while back.  We are currently unable to lock the glass door, so keep the garage rollup door pulled down and locked at all times which means we still don’t benefit from the light that could be coming in from the glass doors if the rollup door was not there.

 
If anyone can help with anything here, we’d be so grateful.  If more than one donation comes in for the same thing, I will put the remainder towards the next most important thing on this list. 
​Thank you.
