HOT CARES

Relationships are a key part of the work that Hot Cares does and all the relationships that we have been able to build over the years have played a huge role in Hot Cares making a meaningful difference to the lives of those around us. That’s why when a partner like Women and Men Against Child Abuse comes calling and asks for help, we jump through whatever hoops we can, to do what we can. Here’s their story. Hot Cares

Hot Cares comes across so many people who give their own time and money to good causes, and we wish we could help all of them. Sadly, this is just not possible, but that doesn’t stop us celebrating and helping those we can, particularly people like Rene Parker, who runs the Cause 4 Paws animal shelter. This is her story.

Hot Cares is a non-profit organisation and the corporate social investment partner of the radio station HOT 102.7FM. Teddython is an annual fundraiser and the station’s opportunity to use the power of radio to make a meaningful difference to the lives of those in its community by raising a substantial amount of money for charity – money that is used to fund the station’s corporate social investment initiatives Hot Cares

We just love to spread the Hot Cares net wide and that’s exactly the opportunity that presented itself when this particular story came across our desk.

Our annual Teddython fundraiser is just weeks away and this is why it’s such an important day for Hot Cares, as we look to make a meaningful difference to the lives of those around us.

Owl Rescue Centre takes in more than a thousand owls every year through their rescue efforts, but unfortunately, a devastating fire ripped through the centre recently, causing damage to the 12 owl enclosures, to the tune of at least R300 000. Fortunately, some very generous HOT 102.7FM listeners have already funded the rebuilding of some enclosures, but here is how Hot Cares is getting involved. Hot Cares

Dr Bronwyn Thomen and her husband Kent Jennings run a mobile veterinary clinic and have been treating 140 to 180 animals every month, but they are in the process of relocating from Gauteng to Emgwenya in Mpumalanga and need help setting up a mobile veterinary clinic to service the Emakhazeni community. Here’s how Hot Cares is helping. Hot Cares

Many of us were fortunate to have our tonsils out as kids if it was medically needed. So, it’s been a while, and most of us probably don’t remember what it was like at the time, but if you speak to anyone who has had a tonsil problem as an adult, you’ll know that it can be an incredibly serious and debilitating condition to go through, which is exactly the issue facing 21-year-old Nicole.
