Bringing Relief to a Brave Young Girl’s tonsil problems


At Hot Cares, we believe that every child deserves a life free from pain and filled with joy. Recently, we were contacted by Nicola, the employer of a remarkable woman named Cordelia, who has been tirelessly advocating for her daughter, Nokubonga, who is suffering from severe tonsillitis. For the past two and a half years, Cordelia has sought medical assistance for her daughter, who is in constant pain, missing countless days of school, and struggling to eat, talk, and function normally. 

Despite her bright spirit and achievements—having received a certificate of merit at school—Nokubonga has been left to cope with debilitating pain that has significantly impacted her quality of life. Cordelia, a dedicated mother who has devoted her life to providing for her family, finds herself in a heartbreaking situation.

She has navigated the challenges of government hospitals, only to face delays and cancellations due to doctors not showing up. 

The financial strain on the family has only worsened since they had to cancel their medical policies during the pandemic. Cordelia’s unwavering commitment to her family, including providing for her ill grandmother, has made it even harder for her to access the medical care her daughter desperately needs. As a mother, the pain of not being able to alleviate her child’s suffering must be excruciating. 

Understanding the urgency of this situation, Hot Cares sprang into action. We cannot imagine the trauma Nokubonga has been enduring, and we want to bring her the relief she so desperately needs. We are covering the costs of an ENT consultation and the necessary surgery to remove her tonsils. Additionally, to ensure the family experiences joy during this festive season, we will provide them with a R5,000 grocery voucher. This will allow Nokubonga to choose her favorite foods and treats—something she hasn’t been able to enjoy due to her condition. 

Through our support, we hope to restore Nokubonga’s health and happiness, helping her lead a normal life filled with opportunities and joy. At Hot Cares, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of those in need, and we are honored to be part of Nokubonga’s journey toward healing. Together, we can help bring relief and happiness to families like Cordelia’s during this challenging time.
