Hot Cares empowers Daphney Twala with advanced laptop and Bluetooth headset to enhance independence and productivity


In a heartwarming gesture of support, Hot Cares is stepping in to assist Daphney Twala, a remarkable individual with a congenital disability who relies on assistive devices to enhance her independence and productivity at work. Daphney, who recently turned 31 and is also a new mother, faces unique challenges due to her short hands and limited finger mobility. Despite these challenges, she has built a successful career as a Disability Information Coordinator and is also a published poet. 

Daphney’s dedication and achievements are inspiring, but her disability makes typing a strenuous task, impacting her ability to perform her job efficiently. Recognizing her need for a more accessible solution, Hot Cares is committed to providing her with a Dell laptop equipped with speech-to-text functionality, which will significantly reduce the strain on her hands and improve her productivity. This advanced technology will enable Daphney to continue excelling in her professional role while also managing her personal responsibilities as a new mother.

Understanding that Daphney also struggles with holding her cell phone, Hot Cares will provide her with a Bluetooth headset to facilitate easier communication and access to information. This additional support will further enhance her independence and quality of life. 

As a new mom, Daphney’s focus is undoubtedly on her baby’s needs, often leaving little time for self-care. To ensure that she also receives the attention and pampering she deserves, Hot Cares will present her with a R5,000 shopping voucher, allowing her to spoil herself this Christmas. This gesture aims to acknowledge her hard work and dedication, ensuring that she can enjoy the holiday season without financial strain. 

The total value of the support provided by Hot Cares, including the laptop, Bluetooth headset, and shopping voucher, is R22,000. This comprehensive assistance reflects the organization’s commitment to empowering individuals like Daphney, who demonstrate resilience and a strong will to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Hot Cares is proud to support Daphney in her journey towards a successful and fulfilling future.
