Make a grandparent’s Christmas special
Make a senior citizen's Christmas by donating to the Robin Hood Foundation's Bless a Granny and Grandpa campaign.
THE Robin Hood Foundation’s Bless-a-Granny and Grandpa campaign is in full swing.
The foundation will visit local old age homes to give the grannies and grandpas a gift, to show them some love and to bring a little joy into their lives.
The foundation’s Kim Griffith Jones said: “Every year, we are humbled by the simplicity of the requests we receive from them, for a Kit Kat, toilet paper, coffee or Handy Andy.”
“This is your invitation to get involved and be part of the Christmas magic by making the wish of a senior citizen come true,” she added.
For many folk in old age homes, Christmas is a particularly sad time of the year, when they miss their families who have either emigrated or who do not visit often.
Many folk in old age homes have the basic necessities, such as food, shelter and care, but they lack the extras such as sweets and treats and certain toiletries.
Email the Robin Hood Foundation at robinhoodfund@telkomsa.net and the foundation will send you the name of a specifically selected granny or grandpa and their wish list. Another option is to provide a generic gift for a granny or a grandpa. Contact Kim on 076 612 9060 or email robinhoodfund@telkomsa.net
