BACKGROUND:
Chantel Erlank and her husband lost their 11-year old daughter. She was born with special needs. They understand the pressure and costs involved in caring for a differently abled child and wanted to pass on some of the equipment needed for such care to another family in need of help. They asked Good Morning Angels to find a family that could make use of it. We sent them some requests and they chose to help little Marthinus. He's 6-years old - originally from Centurion, where his mom still lives and works. His step-dad, Pieter has been 'n big part of his care. After a long lay-off, Pieter found a job in Welkom, in the Free State and Marthinus now lives with him, until his mom can find a job there and re-locate too. Marthinus only recently started saying words and pulls himself up against furniture - like a 1-year old. He however cannot walk and still wears nappies. Our friends at Spar also helps out to bring some relief.
ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Marthinus Christoffel Viljoen is 'n 6-jarige seuntjie. Hy is mylpaal gestrem kan glad nie loop nie. Sy stief-pa, Pieter, dra hom oral rond. Marthinus begin nou eers mamma en pappa sê. Hulle sukkel ook finansieel om dit by te bring met doeke vir Marthinus. Kan die Angels (asseblief) die gesin help met die behoefte vir die seun. Hulle is woonagtig in Centurion.
Baie dankie,
Alexa de Waal
