Dear Stefan, Burk Stiftung and friends,
Hallo for 2026! We are so thankful for your partnership with us during 2025 and want to acknowledge your gift of R58 680.60 on the 5th of November. It really made a difference and we thank you for your generosity! Here is a summary of how you have helped us:
Food parcels are a tremendous encouragement and every month we give them to our neediest clients who are vulnerable, either because of a pregnancy and not having income or because of health issues from being HIV+ and also not having sufficient income. What a difference these food parcels made!
Your support helped buy supplies for the card workshop, and taxi and food costs for our pregnant clients and for the support groups.
“Shine”, the “Youth Group” and the “Support Group” all benefitted. We saw lots of growth in the group members as they attended workshops and had lots of discussions leading to positive decisions and experienced community. The feedback at the end of 2025 was very positive and we see the great value support groups have for our clients!
We have spent quite a bit of your contribution on the practical running costs of Options. Salaries, fuel for the car, security cost, municipal costs, stationary, photocopies, internet (Hexabyte), electricity and our hand towels/Sanitary bin are all important to the smooth running of Options and we are very thankful to you for your generosity. With our added new buildings costs have increased and your support strengthens us.
We look forward to seeing you soon (Stefan, Petra, Frank and Julta)!
What a joy it will be to have you visit us in George.
May 2026 be a wonderful year
Love from
Laurie & the Options Team
