SENSITIVE SU***DE POST!!!!
New Home Visit – SU***DE TRAUMA – Table View
Dad, mom and baby
Ref: M29/5

What turned out to be a su***de call at 2am turned out to be a rescue and new HOPE.

Half the week I have my phone on silent late at night and the other half I am on because 11pm to 6am seems to be prime time to phone for a bread, shelter, nappies and I cannot help at these times unless it is an emergency.

Last night phone was on and with the help of the York Terror I woke up at 2am when the phone rang.

I answered and had a frantic mommy was on the phone. She cried out ‘Help he wants to die!’. Calmly I got her to stop crying and tell me what is going on. When I heard a su***de could be happening, I asked address and told her I am on my way. I got a Bolt taxi and arrived at the house 20 mins later.

Mom was hysterical and took me to the garage where dad was sitting on the floor crying. I immediately spotted the noose hanging from a roof beam and a 3-step ladder underneath.

My discernment calmed me down and I went and sat on the floor next to him in silence. Held his hand was shaking as we just sat for 10 minutes. I also asked mom to leave the garage and go inside.
I told him my name, that I wanted to help, and he can feel free to talk to me.

Softly he started through the tears to open and talk to me. I just listened. This broken man spoke from his heart.

He told me that he is a failure as they will be evicted due to him not paying rent. He got retrenched 9 months ago as a manager of a fruit supply company and they have now sold everything, including car and has been lying to his wife about almost everything.
Mom works half day at a cresh and they have a baby.

Baby is a boy 17 months old and has a colostomy, born with a re**um blockage. He wars a stoma bag as he is having pull through operations which keeps healing with too much fibre. They need to cut away the tissue fibre and rebook for another operation and due to age these operations get done in stages. This baby will have many more operations at Red Cross. Transport is a problem.
At this stage I was relieved that I had a toilet roll in my bag as I bonded with this dad and his situation. Dad said he can’t believe God did this to his child and softly I started praying in the Spirit. I asked him if we could go inside and he agreed and very gentlemanly he let me walk first and opened the door for me.

Mom was busy changing the baby and I was shocked to see what a colostomy really is. Mommy was calming down a little on seeing dad out the garage and in the house. We chatted and talked about options until 6 am. I offered my phone to call medics, SAPS, ambulance, Helplines and every number I had, but dad refused this and asked if we can just talk. I told dad that I am not a counsellor or psychologist and do not have the qualifications needed. The only thing I have is my own attempted su***des that I survived. He asked if Table View Angels can help them. Telling him that it depends on community donations, but we can certainly try our best.

My 4 hours with this family brought many emotions and possible solutions. I so want to talk more, but this post is long enough and will do a follow up post.

Desperate Needs:
Food is urgent
Rent
Toiletries
Nappies size 4
Betadine
Wet wipes
Blankets
My City points

I am rushing this now as it is getting late. I really hope our community can help us with this family. The last thing we did before I left was cut the noose to pieces as mommy and dad gave me a big hug. Lots of work still to do and I thank Jesus for waking me up and taking the call.

We received an urgent plea for electricity this morning. Our family C23/4 ran out of electricity last night and although mom tried to borrow some money from a friend, she was not able to.

Please let us help them to get their lights on again and to stay warm in this terrible stormy weather.
