Hot Cares ensures this Matric journey stays on track

Right now, Tumi is in the middle of one of the most important years of his life.

Matric.

For learners at S’Godiphola Secondary School in Cosmo City, academic support camps are designed to give Grade 12s the extra structure and focus they need to succeed. But for Tumi and his guardian, Lerato, the cost felt overwhelming.

Lerato has raised Tumi since he was three years old. At just 22, she stepped into the role of mother — and never looked back. Today, she supports their modest household by selling sandwiches from home, carefully budgeting every rand.

She managed the weekly R50 camp fee. But three additional Matric camps, a blazer, stationery and study materials? That was a mountain too high.

And no caregiver should have to choose between school shoes and academic support.

That’s where Hot Cares — with the backing of Silverstar Pay It Forward — stepped in.

The cost of Tumi’s upcoming Grade 12 camps has now been covered. His weekly progression camp fees are secured. He will receive the uniform items and study materials he needs. And his entire Grade 12 group will benefit from nutritional support during camp periods.

The result?

Relief!

Renewed confidence!

A young man who can now focus fully on his exams — not on what might be missing.

This is what your generosity does. It removes immediate pressure at the exact moment it matters most. It affirms hard work. It strengthens belief.

Tumi still has to write the exams. He still has to do the work.

But now — he doesn’t have to do it alone.

That is the Hot Cares difference.

And it continues because people like you choose to give.
