Single mums celebrated by City Changers

Several single mums were spoiled with sweet treats and plenty of gifts thanks to the non-profit organisation City Changers Social Services at the AFM Communio Church over the weekend.

The spoil-your-single-mum-friend event at the church on Saturday November 13, saw scores of single mothers being thanked for their tireless hard work and dedication with their children, especially during the difficulties that came with the pandemic.

The City Changers Social Services also has a restoration centre called Tamar that does restoration sessions with women and children.

Pr Leanie Erasmus and Monique du Venage of Tamar said they had asked the community to bring single mums to the event with the aim of encouraging, uplifting and honouring 20 single mothers for their hard work and dedication.

Bright balloons, cupcakes, sweeties and snacks were just some of the treats given to the mothers, with a special crafts table enabling them to show off their creative side. There was also a foot-washing station on offer.
The highlight of the morning was when each mother was gifted with something they had told their friends they really needed.

Some mums received generous food parcels and clothes, while one mother discovered that all her medical bills had been paid for in full by an anonymous sponsor.

Another mother was gifted much-needed dental surgery for her daughter while another mum received a lounge set as she prepares to move home with her children.

Erasmus said all the mums who were invited were so grateful to be part of event.

“The mums brought us to tears and we are so thankful we could make a difference in these women’s lives,” she said.
