GMA Coronavirus Support: Helping Engela to help her employees during lockdown
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
The lockdown was sudden for everyone and sometimes there’s no way to plan or budget for a no-work-no-pay reality.
BACKGROUND: Engela de Kock lives in Rustenburg, where she started a cleaning service a year ago. Three woman - Catherine, Lena and Rachel started working with her. They do deep cleaning at homes, businesses and anywhere they kind find the work. It has not been easy to establish a steady income with what they earn. What they have goes straight to looking after their families. The lockdown came very suddenly for everyone and there was no way for them to plan or budget for this no-work-no-pay situation. Engela and her crew are all worried about how they will provide for their families without their income. Engela wrote to Good Morning Angels asking for some AngelRands assistance to pull them through.
REQUEST FOR: Engela de Kock
ANGEL: Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels in partnership with LottoStar
SPONSORING: We’ve sent R10 000,00 in #AngelRands to Engela’s phone, so she and her three employees can provide food and essentials to their families during lockdown …
ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Liewe Good Morning Angels,
Ek wil graag vir myself en gesin van 5 asook my drie skoonmaak dames nomineer.
Ek het so jaar terug 'n skoonmaakdienste begin, waar ek en my dames deep cleans doen. Ek het die wonderlikste 3 vrouens wat saam met my hierdie venture begin aanpak het. Met die wete dat ons slegs salaris verdien mits ons werk het. Die afgelope jaar was maar 'n harde tyd - en veral met die lockdown wat so vinnig op ons afgekom het. Ons sit almal met bekommernisse van hoe ons kos op die tafel gaan sit vir ons gesinne. Met elke werkie wat ons gekry het is dit basies van die hand na die mond.
As ek bevoorreg is om 10 000 angelrands te kry, sou ek graag vir my 3 dames, Catherine, Lena en Rachel) wil help om ook kos op hulle tafel te sit.
Groete Engela 🙏🙏🙏
