A Norton woman who cared for homeless children received a piece of land Saturday. Grace Ndemera, 56, broke down crying when radio host Tilder Moyo announced the gift at a Lake Chivero Mother's Day event. Her husband left her after 16 years without children, which led her to care for street kids. She housed them in different rented places before money problems forced her to send them to Melfort.
Ndemera plans to help elderly women next. She worries that parents called witches will cause their children to abandon them. Many grandparents must raise grandchildren after their adult children die from illness. The Tilder Moyo Foundation will build Ndemera a house since she has no job. Several older women won cars, furniture, and food at the celebration.
The women enjoyed boat rides, games, and dancing at the event. Singer Suluman Chimbetu played his late father's familiar songs for them and performed music from his newest album. The celebration gave these women a break from their daily struggles as they shared stories.
