Good Morning Angels Follow-up: More help for orphaned brothers
We catch up with Billy Badenhorst on Breakfast with Martin Bester to share the good news!
BACKGROUND: Last week on Good Morning Angels, we met 24-year-old Billy Badenhorst. He is the guardian of his 13-year-old brother, Dewald, after their dad died from COVID-19 complications on 21 January, only five days after Dewald’s mom and Billy’s step-mom also died from COVID-19. They all live with Billy’s girlfriend Charné’s parents.
Dewald, who starts high school next week, suffers from epilepsy, which leaves him disorientated and with temporary amnesia after attacks. Their parents lost their jobs last year and there is no medical aid or other policies to provide for Dewald. Good Morning Angels assisted the brothers with R20,000 and several more angels came forward with assistance.
