You are a soft soul. I hope she is OK and don't loose herself completely :'(



I like this you are a gem. I hope she is OK too and that she overcomes her own demons. It's not a easy place to be.

People seldom come right unless they lose people and hit absolute rock bottom, which is soul destroying to watch, but necessary in most cases.

I sometimes wonder why I can't win the lottery. My intentions are good and I will be able to help so many people. Till I've realised the reason... Maybe because I would make it to easy on them not to get up and help themselves. Indirectly I redirect them on a path that they're not supposed to be on. Something to think about. Mmmm...

There are quite a few of us who are not lost in addictions and problems. Walking away from a problem that is not yours to fix is always the best option. It's a sad reality that this is a dark industry that comes with consequences most can't handle. I'm drug and alcohol free. Give me a call.

I also helped a who was down and out and her 3 sisters could not accommodate her. I eventually paid for a Wendy house in back yard of family member and all where happy. Never met the 3 sisters but the the request for financial help started pouring in. Fro 2 of the 3 sisters. My TV broke, can you help. My daughter just diagnosed with cancer and cannot afford treatment.. my mother drew her pension and was robbed, now no food for this month etc etc etc. it's sad but after about R50,000 I had to block all their numbers and walk away.

I must also admit that I have made a few financial donations during the COVID times to my 2 regular girls, one in Cape Town and one in Joburg without them asking but just because they are such nice girls. I made it very clear that I do not want any thing in return for my donations.

Your generous send some my way to I promise I am also a nice girl ;)

Seriously though they make us believe all that Bs and if you have a good heart it makes you gullible. The I took to ladies into my home one currently still advertises along the coastal regions and the one left the business, it ended up being the biggest mistakes of my life needless to say say that door has been closed. It does not mean I will not help anyone else because that is who I am it just means I have to be more selective of how I choose to help.

This time I won't take them ill call around and find them a shelter much like I won't be giving money I'd rather go buy them food.That is the sort of help my experience has thought me to give.
