Harry (name has been changed for privacy reasons) came to us with a set of challenging problems. His marriage had broken down, he had been retrenched from his work site and he was over 50 years of age. Also, his personal telephone and fax services had been cut off, his car had been deregistered and he had no food supplies at home. He was in a bad state! He had very low self-esteem and had lost hope of ever getting employment because of his age.
Even though he was a qualified Electrical Engineer he did not hold much hop for success. Our Breakfast Club workers took him in and showed him lots of love and respect and also gave him some food parcels from 'Food care' to keep him going. He came to the club every week and, with encouragement from the breakfast club workers sent out many (about 57) application letters. The he got his prize! He got a job in the Electrical Industry with a starting salary of over $62,000 per annum plus a company car. Harry also found a good local church to attend and has made his peace with God.
