GET ROCCO TO SCHOOL

 

Rocco is a remarkable 16-year-old special needs learner with a passion for learning and an impressive academic record. Currently in Grade 8, he still has a few important school years ahead. For Rocco, school isn’t just about lessons—it's his happy place. A place of adventure, joy, connection, and personal growth.

Despite the challenges he faces, Rocco consistently achieves over 80% across all his subjects, proudly declaring Math as his favorite. His enthusiasm for learning, combined with his kind and loving nature, is a recipe for success.

But Rocco’s dream is in danger.

Due to South Africa’s harsh economic climate, Rocco’s mother, who battles diabetes and has been unable to secure employment, is struggling to make ends meet. Without transport, she relies on extended family for support, but it’s simply not enough.

Rocco urgently needs help to cover:

• Transport fees to and from his special needs school
• School uniforms
• Essential learning materials

The special needs school is quite a distance from his home, and the monthly transport fee has fallen into arrears. Without intervention, Rocco may soon be unable to attend the school he loves so much.

The CLR Foundation has pledged to support Rocco’s educational journey, but we need your help to make it possible.

Let’s keep Rocco in school where he belongs.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to securing Rocco’s future. Together, we can stand behind his potential and keep his dream alive.

Designed to Rise: Support Gladys’ Next Chapter

 

Let’s come together to help Gladys turn her dream into a reality. 

She’s a young, ambitious woman with a vision: to launch a creative and successful t-shirt design and printing business. Now, she needs our support to take that first bold step.

 In Gladys' own words:

 “My name is Gladys, and I'm a passionate t-shirt designer with a dream of starting my own business. 

I'm reaching out to inquire about potential donation opportunities from the CLR Foundation to support my venture. As a budding entrepreneur, I've developed a range of unique and creative designs that I believe can resonate with a wide audience.

 However, I'm currently facing financial challenges in securing the capital needed to launch and grow my business. Your support would be instrumental in helping me overcome these hurdles.

 The donations would help cover key startup costs, including: • Purchasing equipment and materials • Setting up an online store and marketing efforts • Initial operational expenses I plan to begin working from home to test and refine my business model.

 If successful, I hope to expand into a dedicated workspace.

 To get started, I estimate needing R2,500 for initial t-shirt stock. Additionally, I would need help purchasing two essential machines, with a combined estimated cost of R20,000. 

 Thank you for your support and belief in my journey. I'm excited about the future and deeply grateful for the opportunity to grow with your help.”

 

 Together, we can make a difference.

 Donate today and help Gladys become the successful entrepreneur she’s meant to be. 

Your generosity lights the way for those with dreams, offering hope and opportunity where it’s needed most.

 With gratitude, 

The CLR Foundation 

Committed to uplifting, empowering, and inspiring individuals to move forward in victory.
