The Friend Foundation has been extremely fortunate in the last month to have received help from two of the most amazing people Mr. John de Wet and Mr. Colin Roberts. Both of these men have helped the foundation and their help is very profound and it has humbled those of us who work here. Thank you John and Colin for opening our eyes and going above and beyond to help us.
With Paint and Plaster new hope is born!
The cracks have been fixed, the walls have been rebuilt where needed, plastering and the painting is on going. What can we say about the man that is behind this all? Out of the goodness of his heart Mr. John de Wet has taken it on himself to fix the problems with our office, and other buildings. FAF cannot express how grateful we are for this help, our office is looking a million times better. It has given all of us a new optimism! We honestly cannot thank you enough for your help!
The Sparks Fly!
It is startling to think what a difference it has made for someone to donate to FAF for a few days a welder, his equipment and supplies that are needed to fix kennels. Mr Colin Roberts from Valcol did just this. He sent his welder out with an assistant and all the materials needed and suddenly all our kennel doors work just as they should. Last year with the possibility of closure we limited everything to try and save enough to keep the shelter open and small things like this sliped by the wayside. To know that someone has taken the time to help us with this is overwhelming. Thank you Colin and Valcol!
Toby the little blind boy.
This is Toby, full name Toblerone, is the sweet darling boy that was found by a Good Samaritan on the side of the road so weak that he could not stand and he had gone blind from the malnourishment. The road to recovery for this little guy has been long and rough. He has been in the vet several times. His muscles were very weak and he was not able to walk properly. Finally though he is coming right. Toby is only 7 months old and despite the rotten start to life he is finally doing well. He is able to walk around and the best news of all he has regained partial sight. His mischievous playful character has emerged. He is a delight to have around and is very loved by his Foster mother Pippa.
