Spent my entire day in the kitchen cooking Mother’s Day lunch for my Momma ❤️ and the Matriarch of this family — my Gran 🥹🤌🏾

And before anyone asks:
YES, I am exhausted.
YES, my feet hurt.
YES, I’m currently lying in bed fighting for my life with a full stomach 😭😭😭

But honestly? Cooking for the people I love is one of my love languages 🥹❤️

On today’s menu:
– glazed meat that almost took me OUT
– roasted veg sent directly from heaven
– beetroot salad looking like it has a skincare routine
– creamy broccoli situation that healed generational trauma 😭🤌🏾

There’s still dessert waiting for me in the kitchen but unfortunately there is physically NO MORE SPACE in my body. I’ll revisit that matter after my 3–5 business day nap 😭😭✋🏾

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grans, aunties, guardians and women who carry families on their backs every single day 🤍🫂❤️✨😘

And lastly:
Soso Maposa over to you ke Bhut Wam 😭🤌🏾 my Nonoza 😘
Please take over the dishes before I report you to the United Nations 😌 xx

Today, I met Quinton and Lucy 🤍🐾

(Quinton has given me full permission to share his story, pictures and information publicly.)

A few days ago, my friend Julyan reached out to me about a gentleman living in a tent with his dog here in Nelson Mandela Bay.

So naturally I asked for his number immediately 😭

Last night Quinton Grobler and I exchanged WhatsApp voice notes and guys… what a BEAUTIFUL human being 😭😭😭😭🫂🤍

Even through everything he’s facing, he was still laughing. Still joking. Still kind.

Quinton is a self-employed DSTV installer/technician who does:
• DSTV installations
• Satellite work
• TV mounting
• Decoder setups
• Room extensions/switches

But after a serious car accident, life completely changed for him 💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭

His biggest struggle right now is transport.

He gets jobs… but Uber costs are swallowing almost everything he earns. Imagine doing a job for R450 and spending most of it just trying to get there. 😭

And despite ALL of this…

This man STILL shares his food with other hungry people.
Still shares Lucy’s dog food with other dogs.
Still chooses kindness.

That part broke me 😭😭

So before we ended our conversation last night, I told Quinton:
“Listen 😭 I currently have NO money in my account… but tonight YOU pray and I’m going to pray too. Let’s ask God to send someone to help me help you.” 🙏🏾😭🫂🤍

This morning, while having coffee, I reached out to somebody who has carried me through some of the hardest seasons of my life 🫂✨🤍

I told her Quinton’s story.

Within minutes…
God answered the prayer 🙌🏾😭🤍

So then I went outside and asked my sister given to me by God Muchaneta Ndemera (my household genuinely became part of this mission today 😭🤍) if I could use her phone quickly because she had airtime.

I called Quinton and said:
“QUINTON 😭 THE PRAYER WORKED. I’M COMING.” 🏃🏽‍♀️🚕😭🙌🏾🤍🫂✨

Guys 😭😭😭

I went to Pick n Pay, bought essentials for Quinton and Lucy, got into an Uber and went to go see them.

And honestly?
I left there changed.

Sometimes God places you somewhere not because you have all the answers…
but because your presence itself is the answer in that moment. 🤍

If anybody can assist Quinton with:
• Transport
• A scooter/vehicle
• Work opportunities
• Clothing/blankets
• Dog food
• Temporary accommodation

Please contact either Quinton directly or contact me.

At this point I genuinely wish I could clone myself because SO MANY people in Nelson Mandela Bay need help right now. 😭

So please:
PRAY FOR ME TO CONTINUE DOING THE LORD’S WORK 🙌🏾🙏🏾😭🫂✨🤍
Pray for our community.
Pray for Quinton and Lucy.
Repost.
Share.
Talk to people.

And if you know somebody who needs help, my DMs, WhatsApp and email are open. 🤍

This is just the beginning 🙏🏾🙌🏾🫂😭✨🤍🌻
