Campaign Overview:

Help us reunite two sisters who have been separated for 18 years. Walter Edick’s mother, who suffered a stroke and has been living with dementia, is paralyzed on her left side. Her sister, residing in De Aar, Northern Cape, hasn’t seen her in nearly two decades. Walter’s mother’s heartfelt wish is to return to her place of birth and reunite with her sister before it’s too late.

The sisters, once inseparable, have been forced apart by distance and health challenges. With her health declining, Walter’s mother dreams of returning to her birthplace and reuniting with her sister before it’s too late.
