Your Act of Service This Mandela Day, Transform a Child’s Future
Dear Compassionate Supporter,
On the 18th of July, the world unites to honor Nelson Mandela’s profound legacy of compassion and service. It’s a day to reflect on the power of collective action and to dedicate ourselves to making the world a better place. Even if you can’t join outdoor volunteer activities, you and your colleagues still have an easy, powerful opportunity to make a lasting difference in the work we do at Arms of Mercy.
This year, we invite you to embody Madiba’s spirit by extending your hand to the most vulnerable among us: children battling life-threatening illnesses and profound challenges.
At Arms of Mercy, we are a lifeline for courageous children facing conditions like cancer, rare diseases, cerebral palsy, and other special needs. We raise and donate funds to help pay for their ongoing medical expenses, including essential care, life-saving medical treatments and equipment, crucial support therapies, and emergency surgeries. In today’s economy, we find that so many families have nowhere else to turn.
MAKE A TANGIBLE IMPACT THIS MANDELA DAY
This year, our urgent focus is to help all beneficiaries under our wings by injecting each one’s Arms of Mercy savings fund with something extra for when the need arises, which can be at any moment. Illness doesn’t pause for circumstances, and neither can our support for these brave children. A donation of just R100 will go a long way. With your support, we can ensure these children have the chance at a healthier, more comfortable life, without the worry of where funds for medical bills will come from. Every contribution directly impacts a child’s future.
BE A PART OF MANDELA’S ENDURING LEGACY
Nelson Mandela taught us that “what counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others.”
