Ms Tinai said she was grateful for the kind gesture as both she and her husband Simone Drole were unemployed.
“Not only have we lost both our children this year, but we also lost our house,” she said.
“We are very grateful to Mr Bala for taking the time out to come and visit us.”
She added funeral arrangements were yet to be finalised as they were awaiting post-mortem examination results
