WINTER HELP: Poor Whites in South Africa: Old Clothes & Blankets

(006516.73:E-002257.55:N-WOM:R-UR:C-30:V)   

A friend of mine here in Johannesburg, Dave, has been trying to help struggling whites including collecting and delivering clothes and blankets to help whites. He sent me many photos of what he’s doing but due to my own chaos and madness I have not been able to post the photos. But Dave is a good guy. He was my neighbour. He, himself, like many whites is out of work despite him being a professional in the printing industry.

He has a whatsapp group you can join if you want to assist or see what he’s doing.

Here’s the group invite link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FnGvzfCtPk8GIRzUjltlN0
