Dear Friend


As you may very well know, I have been involved in the treatment and therapeutic care of many individuals, troubled with addictive behavior. More so those troubled with addiction to drugs and alcohol.

You may also know that I am involved as therapist and counselor, with a rehabilitation facility in Walkerville, Gauteng, where we provide in-patient treatment to recovering addicts. You may know the facility as ADDICTS AGAINST DRUGS: PRODIGAL MINISTRIES 036-365-NPO: WALKING WITH WINNERS LIFE RECOVERY CENTRE

What you may not know is the motto at this facility: “Nobody Gets Turned Away!”

It is reasonable to accept, that providing long term (3 months and more) care, for such individuals, can become a costly experience, and it is reasonable to accept that, at the facility, we charge a nominal fee of R4000 ZAR, per month per individual. This will cover all costs ranging from housing, ablutions, to medical and therapy costs.

However, because we adhere to our motto, we will not turn the individual away who cannot afford the fee. We have a policy to accept such an individual fully into the program and to provide all the care “free” or until reimbursement can be procured.

Well then, you may understand that this becomes a burden that is shared in the income generated by those individuals who can afford to pay and they understand the predicament.

Currently, we provide care to 11 individuals of whom only 6 contribute a portion of the fee levied.

Right now, we are experiencing some financial difficulty in continuation of the program, to it’s fullest capacity, due to a lack of funds.

Therefore my humble appeal to you.

We are in dire need of contributions: financially and materially (food-stuff, toiletries, and linen).

Attached to my letter of request, is a letter from the Facility Director, Pastor Dave Barber, which explains it all in detail, along with testimonies form current in-patient, individuals.

Should you feel inclined to become involved, you may contact me for further details (banking details etc) or you may contact Past Dave Barber directly. His details are available on the additional letter.

Mat 25:31 But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He shall sit on the throne of His glory. 32 And all nations shall be gathered before Him. And He shall separate them from one another, as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats. 33 And indeed He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats off the left. 34 Then the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; 36 I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. 37 Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty, and gave You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? 40 And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you have done it to Me.

This is a registered NPO and certificates will be issued to companies or individuals, who contribute, for tax benefit purposes.

I hope I did not offend or embarrass you through this letter.

Regards and blessings

Your Friend

  1. Hi Deon, I tried to reply on your e-mail, but it came back - Undeliverable. Think it is because of the heading "Dear Friend" of your email. Can you mail me more info with regard to possible donation? K
