@backabuddy m. Jordaan. How do I post my campaign to x? It's medical needs, food, nappies etc. I cannot walk. Had spinal surgery.

Checking in with Cape Town communities after the storms. Have you seen storm damage nearby?

To every mother and mother figure: your love changes lives. The moms, gogos, oumas, aunties, caregivers, sisters, friends and women who have loved, raised, protected and carried others. Mother’s Day is more than flowers and cards. It is a moment to honour the care that holds families and communities together, often quietly, often unseen, but always with lasting impact. To every mother and mother figure: Thank you for the love you give and the lives you shape.💜

Most people would never know what Geno faces every day. Behind the smiles is someone living with lupus — navigating exhaustion, pain, and uncertainty while still showing up for the people and life he loves. Some battles are invisible, but Geno’s strength isn’t ❤️ Comment “lupus” if you’d like to learn more about his journey. #Lupus #InvisibleIllness #BackaBuddy

A year ago, Terrance lost his leg. Today, he’s back on his feet… and back in his bakkie. Because 39 people showed up and helped him raise R62 000. Because 39 people changed the trajectory of his life. #BackaBuddy #GoodNews #SouthAfrica

Some heroes don’t make headlines. They show up quietly. They care. They teach. They build. They fix. They serve. They make life lighter for someone else. At BackaBuddy, we’ve seen people from every walk of life raise funds for medical care, skills development, community needs, and in memory of loved ones who made a lasting difference. Today, we’re recognising the workers, carers, teachers, helpers, builders, and community champions creating small but powerful ripples of change. Tag someone whose work puts a smile on your face👇 #BackaBuddy #EverydayHeroes #CommunityCare #PeoplePowered #SouthAfrica

These faces… now showing up every day for others. Happy Workers’ Day🇿🇦 #WorkersDay #BackaBuddy #SouthAfrica

The best way to end the week is with a little bit of hope. We’re looking at five incredible people this week, like Tyler, who's chasing a pro rugby dream in France, and Lauren, who's starting a fresh chapter in recovery. It’s a powerful reminder that when we show up for each other, impossible goals become reality. Which of these stories is staying with you today? Tyler's Campaign: backabuddy.co.za/.../rugbytrave…... Zelnay's Campaign: backabuddy.co.za/.../help-zelna…... Olive's campaign: backabuddy.co.za/.../olives-ste…... Thobeko's campaign: backabuddy.co.za/.../help-me-bu…... Lauren's campaign: backabuddy.co.za/campaign/help-… #GoodNews #BackaBuddy #Hope #FridayFeelGood #SouthAfrica

He walked over 1,000km so others wouldn’t feel alone. Today, we're honoring the memory of Tom Skye, who turned his pain into purpose by raising awareness for mental health and showing up for others through kindness, connection, and community. His campaign hit 133% fully funded, but more than that, it brought people together to honour his life. Stories like this remind us what really matters.

Hello, I have created a BackaBuddy campaign last week Saturday (11 April 2026), so now I need to update my campaign tittle but I've since been struggling. May you please assist me because I need to share my link & my story across the social platforms @backabuddy

Today’s #PowerOfOne Challenge: 1️⃣ Find a story on our site that moves you. 2️⃣ Share it PRIVATELY (DM or WhatsApp). Private shares beat the algorithm every time. They show the world that THIS story matters. Start here: backabuddy.co.za/search 🌍✨

It’s the friend sharing a link during a quick break. 📱 It’s the R100 donation made instead of a weekend takeaway. 🍔 It’s the stranger sending a DM to a group chat because they had a "feeling." If you’re running a campaign: You aren't shouting into a void. You’re speaking to a community.

It’s Saturday in South Africa. 🇿🇦☕️ While many of us are enjoying a slower pace, someone in your circle is reaching for hope. "Changing the world" isn't always about massive movements. At @backabuddy, we see it in the quiet moments. 👇

This week has been filled with stories of South Africans coming together to support one another and individual dreams taking flight across borders. From local golf days to international dance stages, these highlights prove the power of community. We've dropped the links to each full article and the BackaBuddy campaigns in the comments below!👇

@vynal999 You can add the person as admin. If you need help please email queries@backabuddy.co.za. The team will be happy to assist🌷

@backabuddy I have a problem when fund raising for a person but its actaully for a person plus another person to get funds to join. And nowhere does the fund raiser state its for two people - playing on the premace that its for the one person’s cause.

In 2025, more than 10 000 medical campaigns were launched on BackaBuddy. It remains one of our largest categories, and serves as a sobering reminder that even with medical aid, the cost of life-saving treatment is a burden many South Africans cannot carry alone. But looking closer at the data, we found something powerful: Our platform never sleeps. We see donations flowing in at 2:00 AM just as often as 2:00 PM. We know that many of our campaign creators lie awake at night, heavy with worry, wondering how they’ll fund the care they need. But the data tells us something else: In those quiet hours when you might feel most alone, and wonder how you will get through this terrifying moment, there's a person on the side, wondering how they can help. This World Health Day, we ask that you join us in celebrating that invisible thread of empathy that connects us in the dark. And to the givers, we say thank you for being the answer to someone’s midnight prayer. 💜
