Kerry Katz is an amazing woman with an equally amazing heart. She recently learned of the Ngwane family that has lost everything after their modest home was burned down by an arsonist.

The family are no stranger to heartbreak and suffered a tremendous personal tragedy in the past. Despite this, they are still the most positive and friendly.

Rising from the ashes: Determined South Africans discover inspiration in destruction

Kerry Katz had lost a lot in the recent unrest, her storage unit was torched during the looting, she lost everything in the fire including her husband's knife making workshop.

However, this inspirational story is not about Kerry, at least not all of it. Kerry started a Back a Buddy campaign for Mariska Couts who also lost a great deal in the destruction.
