Kindness knows no borders… or targets! Nisha’s 35th birthday fundraiser has taken off, and she’s already surpassed her goal to support the Breath of Life safe house.
East London, South Africa (16 March 2026) – Overwhelmed with gratitude. This is the heartfelt sentiment that best captures how Nisha Varghese feels following the outpouring of support from her community and beyond.
Kind hearts near and far, from East London to across the seas, have responded with heartwarming generosity to her birthday wish!
On 25 March, she will turn 35, and to celebrate her 35 years of life, she launched a fundraiser to raise R35,000 for a cause that remains close to her heart: the Restore Trust’s Breath of Life house.
For Nisha, every child, regardless of the circumstances they are born into, deserves a fair start in life. One where they are safe, fed, held, given stability and a chance at a secure future.
In just a little over two weeks of launching her fundraiser, Nisha hasn’t just successfully reached her target, she has surpassed it!
“I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of support the babies at Breath of Life will receive as a result of this campaign,” Nisha tells us, reeling from the public’s amazing response.
With a few more days left before her special day, and with supporters still generously donating towards positively impacting the lives of babies still waiting for their forever families, Nisha is doubling her target.
“Because we reached the goal with plenty of days to spare, it enabled me to double my target to do even more for the babies.”
Nisha is now rallying to raise R70,000 in the remaining 11 days of the campaign. And with the tally already sitting at R62,996 at the time of publication, we think her chances of reaching this new milestone are looking very bright indeed!
Nisha has been supporting Breath of Life for years, and last year’s campaign helped fund the salaries of the dedicated baby carers who look after the babies 24 hours a day.
Breath of Life is unique in that the babies at the home live with a House Mom, House Dad and House Siblings, along with carers, ensuring the babies have stability and love until they are adopted or reunited with suitable blood relatives.
“This year, any additional funds raised will go toward essential supplies such as diapers, formula, and medicine, as well as covering the cost of urgent medical procedures if needed and when waiting times in the public health sector would delay care,” Nisha explains.
With the momentum still going strong, Nisha’s birthday fundraiser for the Breath of Life house has been nothing short of amazing.
We wish you an early happy birthday, Nisha and celebrate the true inspiration you are to us all.
