Renewal for the Joseph House

A family with a difference has much to be grateful for after a generous donation of R40 000 from the IQRAA Trust (South Africa) contributed towards renovations to their home.

Foster parents, Frances and Rodney Heathcote, reside on the Focus on iThemba campus in Hillcrest. The couple foster four children and with their own two children their home was in desperate need of an upgrade to accommodate eight individuals.

The IQRAA Trust, a humanitarian organisation aiming to make a difference in the lives of the impoverished people in South Africa, felt moved to donate towards the iThemba programme. iThemba offers quality care to vulnerable children in the form of foster homes, education and a solid foundation of love to grow from.

 

“Contributing to the renovations of the Joseph House, where the Heathcotes reside, appealed to the hearts of the IQRAA Trust,” explained Nadine Wright, iThemba Donor Relations Manager. “With the donation we were able to refurbish the kitchen and scullery. This was an essential upgrade as both were in very poor condition. The donation has already made a significant impact in the lives of this family, as the kitchen is the heart of the home. We are extremely grateful for the IQRAA Trust’s generosity.”

 

Thanks to these enhancements the Heathcotes have a much improved home to reside in, allowing them to grow from strength to strength as a family unit.
