Dear Donors
Wow, for an initiative that started with a big dream and a vision just 3 years ago, we are incredibly proud of the impact our Super Sam Hero Vehicle Initiative has made in the lives of the most vulnerable of vulnerable, namely underprivileged children with a life limiting or life threatening illness.
From no vehicles to two full time mini busses in Cape Town, South Africa - we have as of end April 2021 achieved the following impressive results where our incredible drivers have:-
- Done 3154 trips from family’s homes to hospitals and clinics
- Transported 5117 passengers (children and caregivers)
- Travelled 145 941 kilometres
and our dedicated drivers have done this with a smile and have ensured VIP treatment for families that are struggling each day to simply survive.
It is our honour and a privilege and we wish we could share more of the impact of this incredible initiative, which is often so difficult to convey without you actually joining us in one of our vehicles. To try and bring you into the vehicles remotely see attached some of the parent’s words of thanks in the attached infographic and the little video made of one of our beautiful young and incredibly brave beneficiaries.
Their words are far more powerful than anything else that we could do or say.
Let our beneficiaries speak for themselves and I am sure their words will melt your hearts as they do ours every single day.
South Africa is currently experiencing a third wave of Covid and it is at this time where vaccines are still only just starting to be rolled out that our Super Sam Hero Vehicles are able to add that extra level of safety and comfort to our young passenger's journeys. Because of this incredible initiative these vulnerable children are able to avoid crowded public transport and the obvious accompanying anxiety for them and their parents. Through this life changing initiative our drivers can ensure timeous collection for the many children we serve and their caregivers getting them to their hospital and clinic appointments in good time, safely and with care, dignity and love.
Enjoy and please stay safe out there
Warm wishes,
Melissa (Sam's Mum)
