Helping people who don’t have what we have
From a small seed of an idea from an eight-year-old, there can be endless opportunities to make a difference in the lives of children
“HOW can we help people who don’t have what we have, mommy?”
That was the question that sparked the growth of this joint initiative of Century 21 Properties and LG Gouveia Attorney.
“My eight-year-old daughter, Gabby was touched when a representative from the Door of Hope attended their school and she decided that day she wanted to make a difference in people’s lives,” Leila Gouveia, owner of LG Gouveia Attorney said.
“Gabby chose to do a Christmas charity drive and chose the Door of Hope because babies are close to her heart and she said babies cannot speak for themselves so we need to be their voice and protect our young, love them and nurture them. We have the utmost respect for the work this organisation does,” Leila continued.
“We have received several donations from private individuals for which we are grateful. On a corporate level, Century 21 Properties (Glenvista; Alberton; Meyerton) have graciously joined this initiative to assist.”
The two companies have elected the Door of Hope as their charity of choice for the year of 2019. They will continue throughout the year to run charitable drives to collect the necessities for the children at the Door of Hope. Century 21 Properties and LG Gouveia Attorneys will commence their drive with a Christmas donation of R10 0000 of baby essentials.
Please look out for the charity drives that will take place in the community next year for the benefit of the Door of Hope.
From a small seed of an idea from an eight-year-old, can grow endless opportunities to go into the community, do selfless acts of kindness to make a difference in the lives of children and people who are less fortunate and in need. Something that can mean so little to someone can mean the world to another, so remember no selfless act is too small.
