Latest status - urgent appeal for assistance and advice

This is a translation of the latest communication received from Claudine's mom. It's really a sad and desperate situation they now find themselves in. I'm not sure what their options are, or what their status with regards being "foreigners", but there must be someone with advice,and possibly financial assistance available out there.
Anyone know how we can get a sponsorship from some tycoon? There must be someone out there who knows someone who we can approach for funding / assistance / sponsorship.....
Let's all dig deep into our contacts lists....

If you have never seen us stressed before, then now is the time!
Claudine was supposed to start with rehab again on Tuesday. The rehab facility has just called to confirm, and to inform us that because we are foreigners, they want a deposit of R24,000.00!!!!! and their fees are R2,200.00 per day!!!!!

It's going to cost s more than henko earns per month!!!!!!

It is, in one word, totally and absolutely impossible for us. Oh, Oh, Oh, we are so fedup, and have used up all our resources. What to do??

It feels almost as if even prayer is not helping anymore. This problem can't even be wished away.....
Any advise??

Love
Alta

Editors note:-
Alta, hou moed - keep the faith. I have no idea what you are going to do, or how, but I do know this. Claudine has been spared for a reason. Continue with the "home Therapy" based on what you have learned here in SA, and what the previous therapists did with her. That at least you know can continue. if nothing else, you can maintain her current status.

Then, lets pray that someone reads this blog, and comes forward with a financial offer to assit.

If anyone out there knows someone, please let us know. I am quite willing to put together the letter of request with all the motivation required.

You can email me on ma8xz@yahoo.com, or leave a comment here in this message.
Thanx
