My family and I are now victims of crime in South Africa

Hi Guys
Just to let you know I am still here.I will explain more later.For now I quickly borrowed my friend's internet access.Last week 6 men with guns entered my new home and stole money which I had just taken out of the bank.Apparently it was an inside job from the bank where the teller informs a gang on the outside when someone takes out a lot of money.They then follow you home,attack ypu and take the money.Well my daughter is now traumatised and we are no longer moving into that house.We are now looking for anotyher house to rent.As soon as that is done I will be back online.I still have a lot to organise so I wanted to say don't forget me,I will be back.I just really have to organise counselling for my daughter which is now difficult as they took my medical provider card which I need to see a psychiatrist so I am running up and down.
love you guys... and missing you all,my blogger buddies...

  15. Yvette -
    Oh goodness. You take care of yourself. We will all be here when you get everything figured out.

    Perhaps you should keep a diary and try to remember everything that has happened so you wont forget for the legal stuff and perhaps your own true crime story.

    Take care - you will be in my thoughts.

  24. I am schocked and sorry to read this. I pray that you can soon straighten things things out and get the counseling your daughter needs. Think of yourself some, maybe you need some too, maybe just to help everyone cope with this. So scary. You are in my prayers.

  25. I'm so sorry to hear this news. My home was burglarized once, when nobody was home and that was eleven years ago. It messed me up, where I fear it will happen again almost every time I leave the house. Of course, it was somebody known to me too and he did go to prison. Anyway, I'm just saying I can understand the trauma and what you went through was far worse than what I did. It will take a long time for you and your family to get past this. Take care and please know your readers will be here, when you make your next blog post.
