Good Morning Angels: A birthday surprise ahead of Off The Beat 'n Track
Kelebogile and her partner, Tsepiso, have been struggling to keep their heads above water for more than two years.
Kelebogile and her partner, Tsepiso, have been struggling to keep their heads above water for more than two years. They both lost their jobs in 2017 - a tragedy that befalls so many South African households. Kelebogile has a new temp job, which they relocated to Pretoria for.
They are both avid cyclists and have been trying to save up to buy bikes - nothing fancy. Kelebogile has been saving up to surprise Tsepiso on his birthday on 9 April (yesterday) with a bicycle and tickets to Off the Beat’n Track to celebrate. Sadly, saving on one temporary salary is near impossible and then the car needs a service, so Kelebogile asked Good Morning Angels to help.

ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Good Morning Angels
My name is Kelebogile Bernice Thibodi. Me and my boyfriend, Tsepiso More, have been trying to save up for bicycles since last year, but something always comes up and we have to use the funds. I moved back to Pretoria last year when my company offered me a temp job. I was unemployed since Sept 2017 - well we both were unemployed and sadly he is still unemployed. We both love cycling but still can't afford to buy one.
It's my boyfriends' birthday on the 09 April and my plan was to surprise him with a bicycle and we go celebrate the birthday at the "Off the Beat 'n Track" on the 13th. Sadly, I won't be able to buy the bicycle let alone come thru to the event. The little I have saved, I now have to use to buy brake disk and brake pads for my car - before I end up bumping into cars on the road.
May you please, pretty please help me out and make this day happen for him. Hoping my mail is not late and tickets are not sold out yet.
Hoping for a positive response
Regards
Bernice Thibodi
