This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to gifts. Whatever it is you hope to find in your Christmas stocking, isn’t the most important thing that your gift has been chosen with thought and care … to make you happy and let you know that you’re loved?
Imagine if we could give that feeling to all the lonely elderly people in our community this festive season! People who don’t have any family left … whose friends have passed on … who have no money to buy even the smallest festive treat for themselves … who’ll probably spend the holidays on their own.
There is a way to make them feel special and loved – and it’s right here in your hands! Please click here to give a lonely older person a delicious meal at one of TAFTA’s festive lunches.
At just R120 per couple, these lunches are fantastic value! And your gift of a jolly good meal – starters followed by traditional roast turkey and lamb with all the trimmings, plus Christmas pudding and trifle – comes with something extra. The gift of companionship and community – giving someone who doesn’t get out much the chance to enjoy a chat and a chuckle, and that wonderful feeling of belonging.In fact, because Christmas is all about togetherness, we hope you might consider sponsoring a table for four, six or even ten elderly people – by donating R240, R360 or R600.
From November right up until Christmas Day, we’re planning 18 lunches at our homes and service centres all round Durban. It all adds up to 2 500 guests – and we need to find sponsors for every one of them.Please will you be one of these generous sponsors? It’s unthinkable that anyone might have to be left out, knowing how much this treat means to them.
Thank you for caring about needy seniors and – Merry Christmas!
