Shelter for Abused Mothers and children



Having survived GBV, I developed the love to write Poems x 3( re: GBV), since August 2022, which are currently published at MCL publishers in the UK and Europe books in the US. I recently was refrred to one of the "Unsung Heroin, who deals with GBV in Polokwane, who has presented my poems to the country's higher authorities. I am originally from Gauteng - Meadowlands, but currently have been living in Limpopo, Polokwane for +- 16 yrs, where l've learned a lot. I have a 3 bedroomed house with combined open plan dining room, lounge and kitchen,1 bathroom with bath, shower, and toilet. a two-roomed outside pit toilet. I'm offering this property to become a " Safe Shelter for Abused Mothers and Children. Being the victim of domestic violence and abuse, insulted, taken to unknown velds, threatened to be killed, humiliated, evicted not knowing where to go, but keeping this to myself, in fear of being ridiculed and further humiliated. To summarise my life, in a nutshell, would be:" I was buried alive".My son witnessed all this, but thanks to God, with Faith, he turned out to be a strong & loving young man, who is so knowledgeable, creative, and innovative. He is my Psychologist more than anything else. The perpetrator was always this good person in public, doing his negative conspiracy subtly and silently. Thus we decided that environmental change would be my way of healing and putting all that behind me. Now I've taken it upon myself to prepare meals weekly, with the help of my helper, whom I've picked up from the streets also. My kids have also agreed to join hands with me to buy shoes for younger grades and sanitary towels, in January 2023, and to supply to schools. All these give me such an inner feeling of fulfillment that I have done what I was assigned to do by the Universe.Nursing and Midwifery are my callings, but I've lately noted that I need to reach more of God's children on this path. Doing this will apeace my Maker in serving my purpose fully on this planet earth. I was born to bring about positive change, help young girls grow, and to help Abused women to arise and Reclaim their stand in this world, but with your assistance, this will be achieved more. Believe me, our people are suffering out there, it's more heart braking once one interact with them and l know that l am doing the right thing. All that l need from you is further assistance and assurance to fulfill this special need for Me And Your assistance to help and save our young girls and abused mothers.Joining wonen group called Arise has acertain that my voice and wisdom is needed by the nations, national and international. I am not to be locked in a 7 to 7 hrs, routines type of work, listening and facing workplace bullies, conspires and energy mongers . I am needed beyond that. My soul is so at peace, after serving God's children. I need help to keep on going onπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™This is my wish and dream, to say thank to God after all what he has done for me. Women of my age are totally destroyed, taking chronic medicine, some are addicts, some have given up or even dead, after facing problems. I am alive, haven't changed, and looking younger, at 58yrs. It's a true blessing. My children came out strong still striving for reaching for the sky and also supporting others. What more can a mother want. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ Help me to fulfill my dreams my calling, as my names ( Mercy, Masechaba - Mother of the Nation)

All l am asking for is assistance to Kickstart all this initiatives and project. The house is currently available. I thank you. M Zama

Update : House still available, to accommodateΒ
