Harmse: A beacon of hope now in need of support

FOR decades, Karin Harmse, 64, has stood as a beacon of strength and compassion for children fighting cancer, rare diseases, and life-threatening conditions.

As the founder of the non-profit organisation Arms of Mercy, she has given tirelessly - offering not only financial support to families in crisis, but also comfort, encouragement, and hope in the darkest of times.

But now, the tables have turned. Karin is facing serious health challenges of her own, and the woman who has helped so many now finds herself in urgent need of help.

"She pours her heart and soul into Arms of Mercy," said her husband, Anton Harmse. "Day after day, she witnesses the pain and suffering of families in crisis and never hesitates to be a source of comfort, hope, and unwavering strength. Her compassion knows no bounds."
