linettelintvelt

19 minutes after receiving an early evening call today from a concerned citizen reporting a homeless mum with a very sick child needing specialist medical attention, UOC’s Operative Team, including a para-medic and trauma sister, was mobilized and lead by Wayne van Onselen, Founder and Executive Director of UOC and Nicky McDonald, UOC’s senior social worker, they rushed to the scene where they assessed the situation and due to the severity thereof, they fast tracked the case and reported it to the doctor on duty in a hospital in Pretoria, resulting in the child being attended to right away and admitted.  The 5-year-old child is safe and under observation.

“I want to thank the public for their concern and observation of a mother and child in dire need.  They have done the right thing to alert Unchain Our Children.  The matter will be reported to the social services responsible for that area for further investigation.”  Wayne van Onselen
