TROUBLE), feel free to browse our website to find out more. These annual fundraisers are vital in keeping her going \u2013 and every year we are amazed at the generosity of her friends and acquaintances, but also of many people who have never met her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Last year, we raised a phenomenal <\/strong><strong>R 48 175 (ca. 2 699 \u20ac ). <\/strong><strong>Thank you again to EVERYONE who chipped in so generously in the midst of the pandemic!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That money has supported Jenny through this year where, like all South Africans, she&#8217;s had to make some adjustments to deal with the regular power cuts and rocketing prices. But at least the corona restrictions have been loosened, visitors were allowed into the home and the garden again, and Jenny is allowed out. And she can sit next to her friend Norman again for hours on end to colour in and joke around.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ilovetrouble.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jen-Art-Class-2-Jan-2022-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ilovetrouble.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jen-Art-Class-2-Jan-2022-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-387\" width=\"333\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilovetrouble.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jen-Art-Class-2-Jan-2022-small.jpg 712w, https:\/\/ilovetrouble.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jen-Art-Class-2-Jan-2022-small-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now, we\u2019re looking to cover Jenny&#8217;s expenses for 2023, where the unprecedented inflation has forced us to increase our budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Fundraising Goal: By 30 November 2022 we want to raise <\/strong><strong>R 63 360 (ca. 3 500 \u20ac)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan is to do so by getting <strong>R 1 930 <\/strong>(ca. 110 \u20ac) per month in regular, monthly contributions. <strong>\u201cRegular contributions\u201d<\/strong> mean that sponsors (maybe you?) commit to transferring a small amount every month for one year, from December 2021 until November 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In South Africa, we\u2019re looking for:<br>4 people who can commit R50 per month<br>3 people who can commit R100 per month<br>2 people who can commit R150 per month<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internationally (from all the countries with TROUBLE fans, including Britain, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand) we\u2019re looking for:<br>4 people who can commit 5 Euro per month<br>3 people who can commit 7,50 Euro per month<br>2 people who can commit 10 Euro per month<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a monthly commitment is not your thing, <strong>one-off donations are also very, very welcome! <\/strong>Even small amounts really help!
