As the girl cannot work and has no other careers, and they do not have a car, mom has to carry her for over five km every day. The women asked Mzansi to come together and help this woman with anything they could.

“Morning fam♥️
Samke is a single mom to this beautiful angel. She is really struggling and has to carry her child +- 5km daily on her back as the baby is blind, deaf, can’t talk, walk or do anything. If anyone can please help with a stroller and some clothing or food items.”
Briefly News got in touch with the woman to find out more about the mother in need and her little girls, and how people can help. This is what she said:
"I saw a post on Facebook where a lady tired to help but didn't get much exposure or help so I decided to get the lady's number and use my influence to help her out. The child has cerebral palsy."

In related news, Briefly News reported that life is a challenge for 13-year-old Yamkela Mafiyane from Ziphunzana near Mthatha. Her life is not the same as other kids' her age. At 13 years old she still does not know the joys of playing with other children in the park or outside at all.
Buyiswa told Briefly News that since birth, life has been a struggle for the teen. Yamkela needs special attention because she is unable to move around on her own due to her disability.
Her lower limbs and joints are misshapen and very weak and both her knees are twisted at bad angles. She lives a lonely life at home as a result.
