Funds
In just three nights, Nathan managed to raise more than R190 000, exceeding his goal of R150 000. To date, he has raised about R300 000.
“The money raised will be evenly divided among Cans with Purpose, Ladles of Love, Breadline Africa and Courage, and will then be put into the effort of combating the effects of the coronavirus.”
Nathan told News24 each organisation would receive R50 000, and an extra R50 000 would be used as a relief fund for refugees in Cape Town.
“I haven’t been able to sleep, I keep refreshing the page every 15 minutes and the amount keeps going up.”
Ladles of Love founder Danny Diliberto said he had no idea Nathan started a fundraising account to assist with donations.
“It’s crazy how much money has already been raised in such a short time”, he added.
The organisation, which was founded in 2014, has already provided about 10 000 meals to communities in Cape Town during the fourth week of lockdown alone.
“We just went crazy with it. We are providing one ton of food a day during the lockdown”.
Diliberto has encouraged people to make donations and register their food and sandwich drives.
Information on where to donate and register can be found on the Ladles of Love website.
