Elphin Lodge resident Jenny Sella is putting her spare time to good use – and invites fellow residents to support her efforts.
“I was approached to make granny-square blankets for ‘animal angel’ Hellen White, to be auctioned to the highest bidder. The funds raised go to animals in need in the South of Joburg,” explains Jenny.
Jenny created two beautiful, multi-coloured crocheted blankets that recently went ‘under the hammer’, via an online auction conducted on the Facebook page of Hellen’s non-profit company, Hellen White – in the community.
Jenny says Hellen works tirelessly to raise funds for animals, mainly through the auctioning off of donated items. Hellen is also one of the beneficiaries of the Tails and Whiskers Charity Shop, located in Edenvale.
Last year, the Tails and Whiskers team visited Elphin Lodge, bringing along their furry friends, much to the delight of residents, and it was through this visit that Jenny became involved in the Hellen’s fund-raising endeavours.
Hellen uses the funds she raises to help feed abandoned animals and pay for sterilisations, vaccinations and general veterinary care.
“This is a huge task as there are so many needy animals around. Any animal lovers out there, please help me to help them,” urges Jenny.
Wool or squares for Jenny can be dropped over at the Elphin Lodge office.
