Yasmin has two children and both of them have Cerebral Palsy. Her 18-year-old daughter Courtney has undergone major surgery to her back and as a result is in desperate need of a specialised hospital bed.

Take a look at Yasmin's Big favour request:

"Dear Big Favour team,

I'm writing to ask if the Big Favour can do for my almost 18-year-old Cerebral Palsy daughter a hospital bed "big favour." Courtney was born pre-mature, one of surviving twins.

She had a massive spinal repair (scoliosis) operation in December 2010. Since then we have battled to keep her upright. Recently we have found that she cannot sit for long periods of time and hence the request for a hospital bed that has the degrees of reclining functions to avoid hurting her spine. She struggles to eat, or do anything as she cannot sit up properly."

Both her children have this disease, however Courtney has an extreme case.

Our Big Favour heroes Alpha Healthcare popped in to the studio to help out, A massive thank you to Colin from Alpha Healthcare- check out their website here: http://www.alphahealthcare.co.za/
