Cancer Care Centre thank community for its support

Unable to hold their annual fundraisers in 2020 or 2021, the Tzaneen Care Group says they are proud to say that the community continued to supported them and has helped to keep their doors open.

“In 2020 the Tzaneen Care Group was able to donate hygiene packs to the homeless that were housed at Jetty 3.

We provided grocery hampers to many local families as well as the children at the Polokwane Oncology Unit.

We were able to distribute sanitary pads to girls in certain rural schools.

We were able to cover the cost of twelve patients who were admitted to the Tzaneen Cancer Care Centre.

We were able to do all this because of the amazing support of this community,” says Halima Omar, manager of the Tzaneen Cancer Care Centre.

“We believe that no good deed should go unnoticed, so we would like to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the following: AGS Letsitele, Budget Couriers, Du Roi, Fordsburg Muslim Youth Organisation, Ian and Nicole Preece, Iron Crown Pub (for hosting a cleavage party), Jack’s Paint, KM Bolt, Kruispad Tzaneen, Letaba Wireless, Magoebaskloof Adventures (for hosting an Undie 500), Nico De Jager, Polokwane Muslim Welfare Trust, Smit and Kie, the Kenney family, Tzaneen Methodist Church, Tzaneen Animal Clinic, Tzaneen Spar (Tuffy 4 in 1 Marathon). There are others who chose to remain anonymous.

“We are able to serve, because of the support and generosity of this community as well as other like-minded organisations.

“We thank you for your confidence in the work that we do,” Halima said.
