Every household has one or more of the above……Men and Women’s Clothing Attire – For Every Season and Every Size –now being overlooked
and taking up unnecessary space in your wardrobe –
Or, Perhaps Even Having Spare Cash Wanting To Spoil Someone Somewhere……..
Wondering Where Are We Going With This?
In the first months of 2020, no one could have foreseen how the rest of the year would play out. Last year packed in huge changes to our lifestyles, complicated our use of the familiar, and blatantly uprooted our daily stems and buds
To date, this resulted in The 300+ Frail Nursing Care Dependent Community of Park Care to remain within the confines of Park Care’s borders – unable to
“go out shopping ‘til we dropping” for basic every-day personal needs and leisureliness
The Effect Thereof – One Year Later – Park Care’s 300 Resident Frail Care Community (Young and Old) Are In Need of Clothing! All types Clothing for Men & Women
Trousers & Slacks, Shirts & Tees, Jackets & Coats, Woollies & Fleeces, Sleepwear, Footwear, Socks & Slops, Underwear & Vests, “Stokies”- slippers & Shoes, Winter Pyjamas & Tracksuits, And More
But What We Can Do Is To Banish Their Urgent Need of An Assortment of Garments With Your Generous Embrace Of Donations – Contributions – Sponsorships – Financing – 
If there’s one thing last year taught us, life is unpredictable –
Giving is not about the donation you make – It is about the difference you make
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVESTMENT
The support from society in general – businesses, organisations, institutions, individuals – private groups, communities – are each and everyone a vital life organ to unequivocally implicate the crucial continuation of the Centre who are one of very few institutions specializing in, and, offering professional long and short term Specialized Holistic and Palliative 24/7 Residential Nursing Care
Every gift from a friend is a wish for the Happiness of all Frail at Park Care
An indepth heartfelt THANK YOU for remembering our fragile community
We are humbled by your expression of support and endorsement of our work
Donor and Winners
Diamond Earrings Raffle Winners – 12 February 2021
Donor Mr Klaus Pack
Handing over of 3 x Diamond Earrings Sets to Mrs Manda Pretorius (executive manager) at Park Care
Re-counting Mr Pack’s summary of the Raffle Draw on Friday 12th February 2021:
“I appreciate the dedication and commitment your organization puts into practice always providing the best comfort and nurture for all the frail people at Park Care
Greatly conscious of the sensitivity of financial demands, the sole reason for my gift of 3 pairs of Diamond Earrings Studs was the anticipation that this contribution will be an asset to help improve the finances
I am therefore very pleased to have made this donation to Park Care Centre. A dynamic cause which cannot be ignored, and I value their existence, and genuinely hope that this contribution have made a sizeable difference to advance their successful operations. I am thoroughly pleased to have been able to assist in making a difference
I wish Park Care all success and to continue keep up their good work. I am grateful for the way they take good care of my friend who is a resident, for their unwavering devotion and sincere care for each resident, and could not have asked for better nursing, social and any other extended care
I can assure you that I will definitely continue to support Park Care with further in future. We salute you for all the hard work your organization has been doing and wishing for your success. Keep up the good work”
First Winner – Chantall Botha (with Mrs Lorraine le Roux and Mrs Ina de Ponselle)
“When I heard my name announced as first prize winner of the diamond earrings, I felt wobbly with shock. It took a moment to register what had happened as I never expected to win. I have never won such a substantial prize before. The diamond studs are brilliantly beautiful. I am so very grateful. Thanks so much.
Second Winner – Barbara Grantham – (with Mrs Lorraine le Roux)
“What a surprise to win a raffle for once – and top of it all, gorgeous earrings! Such a generous contribution by Mr Klaus Pack, to a wonderful cause. A huge thank you to all the staff at Park Care – for everything you do for your residents – our friends and family. We appreciate you.
Barbara Grantham”
Chantall Botha”
Third Winner – Melanie Dobbs – (with Mrs Lorraine le Roux)
“My mother was at Park Care from 2011 until she died peacefully in her sleep in 2016. A few months before she passed away, she said that her time at Park Care had been the happiest of her life. This was extraordinary as she had been mentally ill for most of her life. But at Park Care, free from the pressures of normal life, she could love the gardens, concerts, shopping trips, hair dresser, and the semi-independent life-style in which nurses and social staff were able to ensure that my mother took the right medications at the right time, and took care of her illnesses and concerns.
Park Care gave my poor, unhappy Mom five wonderful years, and to me – absolute peace of mind for the first time in my life with my mother.
My mother was lucky that her money outlived her, but many people are not so lucky – this is the reason I continue to contribute to Park Care: so that they may continue supplying these wonderful services to as many people as possible.
Thank you so much Park Care, I will wear your beautiful ‘prize’ with joy.
Melanie Dobbs”

Golf Day 2019
Thursday, 14 November 2019
10:00 am
Observatory Golf Club Bedfordview
The now installed Water Pressure Pump at Forget-Me-Not is pushing 6-Bar Pressure, supplying 2 Kilo-litres water in 2 hours, to the 3 respective floors of our highly fragile Alzheimers/Dementia section, now warranting sufficient water access throughout every day
Thanks to the host (Synbarr) and all the players of the first Synbarr Golf Day that was held on Thursday, Nov 14th, 2019 at the gorgeous Observatory Golf Club –
especially on behalf of, and, to the benefit of:
Park Care Centre (Frail Persons) & Sighthound Sanctuary (Frail Dogs)
several dedicated golfers arrived on the morning of the event …..even when it was cloudy and chilled, and the heavens opened up with drenching rains the night before, with other golfers canceling at the last minute and few more indicators that the day could go wrong for everyone………
But Alas! By the kindness of The Lord’s mercy and grace…..
It turned out to be a winning event for all….pleasant, beautiful weather, delightful social and dinner, with prizes and fun and auctioning…… enjoyable people who changed the forecasts and turned it into a splendid event wherewith both charities benefitted greatly (considering it being a first time golf day fundraising event for both organisations)
To Elaine and Dan, Sabine and Erika, and the Golfing Team of The Day – thank you for making a vast difference by opening the door and granting access to one of Park Care’s many dreams, to come true
Management and staff were astounded by the amount raised for each charity – and with immediate effect, this generous gift was earmarked to purchase a Water Pressure Pump that was urgently needed to help increase the restricted flow of water supply to all 3
