Updated | By Lee-Roy Wright

A few months later, he 3-year old son, Jayven, was diagnosed with cancer in his right leg. He is receiving chemo and treatment, but she’s been advised that he may loose his leg. Their only hope is Dr. Keith Hoskins in Cape Town, and she is in dire need of help.
GOOD MORNING ANGELS ( for 18 MAY 2016 / JAYVEN)
REQUEST FROM: Various … including: Sue-Ellen Fouchè and Suné van Wyk
REQUEST FOR: Carin and 3-year old Jayven Janse van Rensburg
BACKGROUND: Carin Janse van Rensburg and her family’s lives changed in a moment in August last year. Carin, her husband and their six children moved into a new home in Vereeniging a week before.
She runs a pre-school and has four boys (aged 16, 9 and 3) and two girls of her own to care for. When she received a call from the school, that her 9-year old son (then 8 and in grade 2) had itchy eyes - her husband went to pick him up from school and take him home - in case he could infect other children. Ten minutes after he dropped his son off with two helpers at home - who were helping Carin unpack and move in - they got another call. This time, one of the helpers - distressed - said there were men breaking into the property - it was a house robber at 10 in the morning.
Carin’s husband rushed home - while she called the police and followed him in her own car.
She saw her husband, being gunned down by the robbers …
He died on the way to hospital. Five months later, on 6 January, she got more devastating news … Her 3-year old Jayven was diagnosed with cancer in his right leg - in his femur. He is receiving chemo and treatment, but she’s been advised that he may loose his leg. Their only hope is Dr. Keith Hoskins in Cape Town.
He has done several successful operations that could save Jayven’s leg.
But, they are in a race against time … and she has to raise R500 000,00 to give Jayven a fighting chance to keep his leg.
She has managed to raise R150 000,00 so far, while the chemo needs to carry on for another seven rounds. (The medical aid only covers 50% of costs and then there is the travel and chemo costs)

REQUEST 2:
Good day
I shared the link to the article as well as to their Facebook page. Dad was killed in a robbery. He needs a surgery to take out cancer in his bones. Med aid will only cover half of the costs. They already raised R96 000. 15 days to go, please help!
Thank you
Sune van Wyk
