One big way they have previously been able to grow funds for the faiclity was through a fundraising event that they plan every year. This year they were supposed to host their 40th anniversary gala dinner but we all know what stopped that from happening.

Another financial knock was the loss of their international volunteer program which used to cover up to half of their overheads when we they are fully booked. Since lockdown at the end of March 2020, only had 5 international volunteers have made a contribution to CROW.
The Big Favour fortunately exists to make life better in such situations. They are a business which provides homes with everything fabric and wallpaper related distributors. They also have specialize in a variety of upholstery, curtaining, outdoor furniture, wall covering and contract collections to the South African and African market.

Take a listen to how grateful Clint from CROW was.
