Get Dino from homeless to educated Campaign
Introduction:
Meet Dino Crainstein, a resilient 17-year-old from a township in Cape Town with an unyielding spirit despite facing immense challenges in his young life. Dino's journey has been marked by adversity, but with your help, we can rewrite his story from one of struggle to success.
Background:
Dino's path took a sharp turn in 2020 when he was pulled out of school in grade 7 to support his family financially. Tragically, a family altercation led to Dino being stabbed by his own brother, leaving him not only physically wounded but also homeless. His mother felt it best that he left home. Despite his sacrifices, his determination to continue his education never wavered.
Surrounded by the temptation of gangsterism and drugs, Dino continued to choose wisely.
A ray of hope entered Dino's life when a compassionate woman recognised his plight and took him under her wing. This kind-hearted soul became Dino's foster mother, advocating for his education and well-being. However, their journey together has not been without its challenges. They currently find themselves without a stable place to call home, struggling to make ends meet while Dino pursues his education.
The Need:
Dino's foster mother, despite her limited resources, has devoted herself to ensuring Dino receives the education he deserves. However, they now face the pressing challenge of homelessness. With no roof over their heads and insufficient funds for basic necessities such as food and clothing, their dreams are at risk of being shattered. His school fees are in arrears, he needs stationary, he needs a uniform, he needs everyday clothing, he needs everything a 17-year old boy needs. Most urgent is a stable place for him and his foster mother to call home for at least the next three months.
Your Support:
We invite you to join us in supporting Dino's journey towards a brighter future. Your contribution will provide essential resources such as stationary, school clothes, and everyday necessities. Additionally, your generosity will help secure stable housing for Dino and his foster mother, allowing them to focus on Dino's education without the burden of homelessness.
Together, we can empower Dino to break the cycle of poverty and realise his full potential. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in Dino's life and set him on the path to success. He has dreams of being a role model and becoming a lawyer so that he can give young boys like him a voice.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
