Another South African has taken to social media to assist a fellow community member in a time of need and managed to get the help in less than 24 hours.
Melanie Kagan took to Facebook to help Timothy, a Malawian gentleman she had become friends with at her local church.
Timothy approached Melanie at church last Sunday & told her that he had been retrenched and had not eaten for the past 3 days. Melanie immediately offered to assist him with food and asked for his CV so she could try and find him work.
“He is such a beautiful soul and in such a trying situation at the moment. He needs to pay his rent for the upcoming month so that he will have a roof over his head. We have offered him a days work at our home as he doesn’t want donations but, wants to work for money.”
He was working at the Sun and Sand Holiday Resort as a Butler and also as an assistant night auditor, he also worked at the Mount Soche Hotel as a chef, head waitron and an accountant marketing manager.
“His qualification include an accounting diploma, marketing diploma, front of office operations certificate and he has a diploma in hotel management and food and beverage catering… who wouldn’t want his experience?”
Melanie posted a status update asking if any of her friends needed house-work or odd jobs done, while they tried to find him permanent employment.
In just 24 hours, Melanie posted this update!
“In just 1 day, God moved mountains for our dear friend Timothy…
