Hot Cares and Silverstar Steps Up to Support Premature Twins' Developmental Journey


In a touching display of community support, Hot Cares has partnered with Silverstar to assist Nadia Chipelo and her twin boys. Born prematurely at 28 weeks, the twins spent three months in the NICU and have since faced numerous health challenges, including Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) and developmental delays.

Nadia, a devoted mother, has been juggling the demands of raising her twins while managing their health issues. Despite her efforts to provide them with the necessary therapy, financial constraints have limited their sessions to biweekly, affecting their progress. The twins require consistent speech therapy to address their developmental delays, and Nadia has reached out for help to ensure they receive the care they need.

Recognizing the urgent need for intervention, Silverstar has stepped in to cover the cost of 13 additional speech therapy sessions for each twin, totaling R8,000. This support will enable the boys to attend weekly sessions, crucial for their development. Additionally, Silverstar will cover the expenses for occupational therapy assessments, up to R5,000 each, totaling R10,000.

This generous support from Silverstar will not only alleviate the financial strain on Nadia but also ensure that her sons receive the critical care they need to thrive. Consistent therapy is essential for the twins to overcome their developmental delays and prepare for school.

Nadia’s resilience and dedication to her sons’ well-being are inspiring, and Silverstar’s contribution underscores the importance of community support in times of need. Together, they are paving the way for a brighter future for Nadia’s twins, helping them to overcome their challenges and reach their full potential.
