“I send my mother R3k. One day, I went home, and she gave me papers for a stand that I own. When I asked, she said she used the money I sent to buy it for me because she knows I would never think of buying one. So lucky one.”

“Yhoooo, I send R3500 since I left my daughter with my Mom. I wasn't working for 7 months they didn't call me not once to say ‘ingane this and that’. All they did was hope I get another job. I am thankful.”

“I just had an operation three weeks ago, and not even a single family member came to visit, let alone send a message to check on how I was doing. The only person who came to visit me was my colleague.”

I can't afford to give my parents anything monthly, but when I have, I do. I gave my dad R100, and he was so happy. I also sent my mom lunch at work. She called and sent a video saying thank you.
