Melodie’s story:
During October 2003 I became very ill and almost died, due to
a burst appendix which was not diagnosed by my doctor for 9
days. This
resulted in my hospitalisation with serious septicemia,
undergoing
two major operations, and being on life support for almost a
week. After leaving the hospital I realized that I
had been
given a second chance, and that God had saved me for a specific reason.
I became involved in a couple of projects for destitute women and
children, and eventually knew that this was my calling. I
shared
my vision and dream with my husband Albertus, my
children Christéne and Alicia, and my close friends Ronel and
Heidi.
During October 2007 my husband, Albertus, was ready to join me in my
calling and dream and he agreed to support
me, allowing me the
opportunity to fulfil my heart’s desire – to reach out
and help destitute people, especially women and children.
