“Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who contributed, from those who donated animal feed and medical supplies, to those who offered their services at a reduced rate or volunteered with us. Every contribution, whether big or small, has been essential in allowing us to continue our work. Special thanks go to Sharry Banner, whose generosity has made a remarkable impact. We are also grateful to Chery South Africa and the Chery Foundation which promises to be a strong support base for all our efforts in the future,” said Harvey.
During the unveiling of the new Chery Tiggo 4 Cross and the establishment of the Chery Foundation, Said received a generous donation of R10 000 from Chery, matched by their financing partner, WesBank, for a total of R20 000 in support of animal welfare efforts in under-served communities.
