Story:
Good morning East Coast Radio, Halfway and the Big Favour.
I would like to nominate my friend Sandy Govender and her daughter Clarissa.
Sandy, is a single mom who is battling serious health issues, suffering sudden black outs and sustaining injuries from these unexplained falls.
Unfortunately she is on the waiting list for a MRI at the state hospital.
Clarissa is 32 years old, she's cerebral palsy and confined to the sofa at home.
She does have use of her limbs and is totally dependent on Sandy for care.
Listen to part 1 of the story:

The only trips that Sandy does is to the state hospital for her checkups and medical care.
Clarissa has not seen the outside world in more than a year, as she can no longer fit into her standard wheelchair.
Getting a larger one is something they cannot afford on their single income of a disability grant.
A trip to the beach may seem a simple request to some but it would be the the best treat for these two who do not get this opportunity due to their circumstances.
I humbly appeal to you to please consider them and bless them with this treat.
Journey to a beach resort or just the beach would be the best break this mom and daughter could get.
Kind regards,
Barbara
