The organ donor – post mortem hero 🦸‍♂️

Have you ever thought about becoming a hero after you’re gone? One organ donor can save up to 7 lives, and tissue donation can help as many as 50 people. End-of-life companion Britta Rotmann shares her personal reflections on organ and tissue donation, including how you can still make a difference – even if you choose to pass away at home.

Downscaling - Marie Kondo style

Thinking about downscaling or just tired of clutter creeping into every corner? Lirette shares how she turned organising her home into an empowering yearly ritual. Inspired by the Marie Kondo method, she explains how to decide what truly sparks joy, what to donate or sell, and how to lighten your load – physically and emotionally.

Happy vibes this week 😊 A family’s gift

Sometimes the most profound light comes from darkest moments. In Joburg, when Warren Meyer passed away, his family chose not grief alone but celebration — because through his decision to donate, 21 lives were changed. His wife, Suzette, now marks their anniversary by honoring the recipients, not the loss. This story reminds us that even in passing, one person’s generosity can ripple out into renewed hope for so many. Read their story
