On Monday 2 August 2010 the news broke of a horrific fire at the Peter Wessels Old Age Home in Nigel. Initial reports on several electronic and print media explained that 18 elderly people died and over 80 were left stranded with only the clothes on their backs.
This morning news broke that four more elderly people died in hospital.
ER24 initiated a social network alert within our company to contribute in any way possible. Soon we were inundated with people all over South Africa offering assistance and requesting to make donations. Late yesterday afternoon ER24’s original Tweets and messages on Facebook tripled.
We were stunned when we received a phone call from Makro Head Office offering their support. Makro Head Office, Makro Germiston and MASSMART Holdings Limited, informed ER24 that they would contribute a total of R18 000.00 in goods to assist the elderly.
Today ER24 took two ambulances and a response vehicle to Makro Germiston to assist with the shopping spree for the elderly. They were so kind to donate 84 toiletry bags, which included shampoo, soap, face cloths, towels, toothbrushes and many more items. On top of this we loaded the two ambulances full with food and other items that would be needed.
As we thought that this would be it, we received more information of people that would wish to contribute. ER24’s staff from Johannesburg East and even as far as Vereeniging drove through to Nigel this afternoon to handover items.
