Ordinary People Who Care, was founded in 1984, by Sue Wiblin and Julian Beeby. It was these two people’s desire to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. For a number of years, Sue and Julian managed to support a number of charities through Ordinary People Who Care. They involved many people who shared their passion of caring about the less fortunate.

Ordinary People Who Care were fortunate enough to receive an abundance of donations and gifts and were sponsored by a number of affluent people. With all of this help, Ordinary People Who Care were able to provide numerous hospitals with hampers and gifts for their less fortunate patients.

To name a few, organisations that benefitted from our donations, were Abraham Kriel Children’s Home, Kotlands in JHB South, Volkshulp in Pretoria and Ndeni Children’s Home.

Wish lists were provided to us, by the children in these homes, and in order to fulfil each child’s wish, we instilled the help of our sponsor’s. Family members were also encouraged to come and assist with sewing, making up parcels and delivering these to the various charities.

Ordinary People Who Care made an enormous difference by touching the hearts of so many children who were less fortunate than others, by simply showing love and support.

Unfortunately, the charity was put on hold, as a result of unforeseen family illness.

Realising that the number of people in need and struggling to make ends meet, is growing by the day in our country, we are very pleased to share that we have decided to proceed with Ordinary People Who Care and have registered our non-profit organisation fighting poverty and paying it forward.
