My recovery was a turning point. Despite my hardships, I\u2019ve always tried to help others. Now, I want to make a difference in their lives.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its humble beginnings, the initiative has grown, becoming a reliable support system for the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt started small, but now people depend on me,\u201d Strong says. \u201cLiving among them, I see their daily struggles. One small gesture can mean the world to someone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To bring this year\u2019s event to life, Strong is calling on the community to donate non-perishable food items and school supplies, particularly stationery, for children in need. \u201cWe\u2019re struggling to gather enough back-to-school supplies,\u201d she notes. \u201cAny donation, no matter how small, will bring joy to those in need.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryna Verburg, a beneficiary who once faced eviction and was helped by Strong, expressed gratitude, saying: \u201cBeverly always goes the extra mile whenever we need her, even though she faces her own challenges. Her efforts to gather school items and bags for the kids make her a true angel.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To contribute, contact Strong directly on 074 341 8252. As she beautifully puts it: \u201cWe who are blessed can spare something. Let\u2019s come together to make a difference. Everyone deserves a little happiness, especially during the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naruna Estate Residents Association in Plumstead is gearing up for its
