Hi team I would like to nominate my friend and colleague Gugu from Ratanda, Heidelberg. She has been diagnosed with CIN1 and if it is not removed, it could cause cancer in a later stage. Of late, she has been sick and her doctor referred her a gynaecologist who advised that it would be best for her to have the LEEP procedure done for the CIN1 to be removed since all of her test results came back unsatisfactory. The procedure will be done in November. In the meantime, the gynaecologist prescribed injections for her she has to take every month, which cost her almost R900.00 plus she needs to have R5000.00 on top of her medical aid for the procedure in November. We have managed to raise R2000.00. She tried going to the government hospital, but they told her that this is not an emergency, she will have to wait for the lock-down period to be over. It breaks my heart having to see her coming to work every day in pain. We work for a small debt collecting company and her salary is not enough for her to survive on and pay her medical bills. Any help will be appreciated. Kind Regards, Mbali Thusi. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Hi DJ Fresh and team Today is my nephew’s birthday (07 August). He’s a CP (Cerebral Palsy) child, he’s had numerous complications since birth and was in and out of hospital since 2016 which finally led to brain damage. He’s turning 4 today and is a happy chap. My sister has been through a lot since the birth of Bokang and has been nothing but a loving mother to her son. Our biggest challenge at the moment is that Bokang is growing bigger each day and it’s become very difficult to move him around; and getting diapers that fit him has become a problem lately. Fresh. Will you please, please assist my sister with getting Bokang a wheelchair. She’s starting to have back pains due to carrying Boki around. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Clifford See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

#FRESHDEEDS: Afternoon team, my name is Gabsile a single mother to a 9 months old baby. i I used to work one day as a domestic worker, the money pays only rent and left with nothing to buy for baby and food,now can't afford to pay rent and buy food more especially for her as there is no work at all. I used to get support from individuals, now it's difficult. I called some few for help I got same answer so I gave up. It's hard and we sleep empty,at the same time both our clothes were stolen,am kindly asking for help with a voucher team to ease the load on my shoulder - it's too much with no support at all! Please help...

Firstly, you guys are just amazing! You are really changing people's lives during this terrible Covid-19 lockdown. I would like to nominate my brother Arnold and his family. They have lost their home a couple of months back and a friend offered them a place to stay on his plot in Muldersdrift. Arnold is self-employed and does gate automation and electric fencing but as things are getting worse economically for so many people, even before lockdown, he has struggled to find work. He and his family live from hand to mouth (as I know thousands of other do too ... sadly) and with this lockdown he has been unable to try and find any work at all. To survive him and his son are hunting wild rabbits and birds so that they at least have some food to eat. I have been sending them money where I could during April but unfortunately my husband did not get a salary this month and my salary was the only income for my family to survive this month. I am so worried about his kids as his son, Chad who is in Grade 11 but he is unable to do his school work online as they don't have any money for data so that he cannot participate in online school and his little daughter, Jessie, who turned 10 in April was diagnosed a year ago with Cerebal Palsy and attends a Government assisted special needs school. She seriously needs her therapy but with the lockdown this is not happening. All I am asking is for a bit of food to tie them over, my brother is such a good father and a very hard worker and he is literally skin and bone just trying to work for his kids. I think he even goes without eating so that his kids are able to eat. My heart is breaking with worry for them and I would be so ever grateful for a little help for them! Thank you guys are literally Angels of Hope and thank you to Spar! God bless you all!

We received the following message: Hi my name is Leryn Phillips I am turning 23 this I have a brother and sister who are turning 15 this year and a brother who is 5 I have a 4 year old boy and a 1 year old son I know I am young for 2 kids but certain things led to me having these two blessing ... So where do I begin for the longest of time me and my family have been having a tough time my father is nothing but a waste of space filled with lies and broken promises as a child he beat my mum in front of the 3 of us my brother and sister were small but I remember time... He cleaned us out in 2012 and since then things have gotten nothing but worst my mom is 43 with much experience but can't get a job she's worked from telkom to cell c, first road micro soft , tiger brands and many more we live in a one room shack and go nights with out eating my dad doesn't support and cannot keep a job so it's all on my mum she's been trying and I know her heart is tired of asking people for something to eat tears fill her eyes and night when she prays but she acts strong I know she's hurting she's even considered going back to Durban where we from but there's nothing there for us cause our family says they can't always help us basically me and my mum are looking for work to get us out of this struggle I wish to buy my mum a house one day but I can't I don't have much experience but I've been a creche teacher twice but my true dream is to model I have done it before but my pictures were used and I never earn anything i don't have certificates for modeling but I'm good for it when it rains almost every thing gets wet we only own a tv stove and bed that's all we have that's my family owns
