The mattresses and bedding were wet and then we had a second flooding in the dormitory,\u201d he explained. \u201cOn Wednesday, we packed sandbags to stop the water coming from the mountain from flooding the space again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-water-damage-collapsed-roof\">Water damage, collapsed roof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Haven shelter in Kensington experienced water damage and a collapsed roof that is yet to be repaired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Kensington roof collapsed, which pushed water into the female dormitories and the kitchen,\u201d said Valayudum. \u201cBoth the roads leading to the shelter were also flooded, which pushed the water straight into the shelter.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mop-up operations continued throughout the week to keep the spaces dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/stormy-weather-sweeps-the-south-as-dwellings-cave-liesbeek-bursts-banks-20240709\" target=\"_blank\">Stormy weather sweeps the south as dwellings cave, Liesbeek bursts banks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is still raining, so the contingency plan is to place buckets to contain the water as much as possible because we can\u2019t fix the roof,\u201d he said. \u201cAt the other shelters, we are also trying to do temporary patchwork.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold and wet temperatures resulted in shelters being filled to capacity and contingency plans being put in place to create more space for the homeless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the stormy weather, we had an influx of people, so we cleared 200 beds by moving senior residents to outlying areas such as Mossel Bay and Ceres,\u201d he shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valayadum explained that each shelter had a limit on how many people were allowed entry. However, the stormy weather required them to \u201cbend the rules\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn Retreat, our staff went to the railways to look for street people who needed shelter and we created space for another 10 beds,\u201d he said. \u201cAt our facilities in Wynberg, District Six and Kalk Bay it is packed to capacity, so we are trying to get additional mattresses and bedding. Even if we have mattresses on the floor, it is better than sleeping under a tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/hout-bay-seal-rescue-centre-seeks-urgent-help-after-massive-waves-damage-sanctuary-20240709\" target=\"_blank\">Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre seeks urgent help after massive waves damage sanctuary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Street people seeking shelter will not be turned away, he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we need to, for example, we will add toilets and containers in District Six because we don\u2019t want any homeless person to say there is no space for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-buy-a-bed\"><strong>Buy-a-bed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The public who would like to assist can do so via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haven.org.za\/buyabed\" target=\"_blank\">buy-a-bed campaign.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe buy-a-bed campaign is there to render support to individuals coming into the shelter,\u201d Valayadum shared. \u201cFor R75 a week, it helps us to render services to the homeless and it entitles them to a bed, meals, a hot shower, toiletries and everything else that goes with being in the shelter.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cEven after the week, we don\u2019t put them out instead we hope that they will buy into our social work programme so that we can help them get their IDs, their Sassa if they qualify, help them get into hospital for any chronic medication or mental illness.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valayadum appealed to the public to assist with beds or mattresses for the homeless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDuring this time, where there are desperate measures we are asking the public to donate towards mattresses because we need to increase our bed spaces.
