Meet David. A man who shares his bed with the dogs who need him most. The Robin Hood Foundation’s ‘Care for the Caregivers’ is stepping in to show him some love.
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (26 February 2026) – The Robin Hood Foundation is doing something special for the helpers this year. The ones who are always carrying others. Who show up again and again.
For every month in 2026, they will honour one such person or team who gives their time and heart to a cause or organisation, returning a little of the care they pour out into the world.
They’re calling it ‘Care for the Caregivers.’
“This year, each month, we will choose one individual, cause or organisation and do something special just for them — so they feel loved, valued and truly seen.” the organisation shares.
Last month, the volunteers from Queens Sport and Community Kitchen, who serve around 500 meals every week, were spoiled with care packs.
This month, that circle of care extends to David from Puppy SOS KZN – a man whose selfless devotion has changed the lives of hundreds of animals.
Living in a remote area outside Verulam, David has opened his home to more than 100 rescued dogs. Through ongoing sterilisation efforts, he has also reduced the number of unwanted puppies in his area significantly, bringing long-term change to stop the stray cycle.
With limited resources and often without basic services, David’s work continues almost entirely through compassion and community support.
“He is deeply passionate about his animals. So much so that he shares his very old, very worn Super King bed with many of the dogs who need extra care at night. His bed is no longer fit for purpose – but his heart never stops giving. We would love to give back to him” shares Robin Hood Foundation.
The foundation hopes to lighten the load, starting with a few practical essentials on David’s wish-list – a replacement Super King size bed and a mini fridge to safely store vaccines and essential medication.
Robin Hood put out the call for donations and within hours, supporters had already come forward with a fridge, bed, and donated toward more support for David and his doggies!
