GMA Extra: Ouma Theresa and her Grandchildren
Last year we made a Christmas special for three grandchildren. Ouma Theresa is grandmother to three children who lost their father two years ago. She is the sole provider for the children. We caught up with the family to see how time has been since the festive season.
GMA EXTRA 8 FEBRUARY 2016 (30 NOVEMBER 2015 OUMA THERESA&KIDS/CELL-C)
Catching up with Ouma Theresa and her three grandchildren, after their Good Morning Angels FESTIVE Christmas.
BACKGROUND: Michelene (11) Shadé (10) and Micheala (9) are three sisters who never knew their own parents. Their mom, Sylvia died in a car crash eight years ago. Their dad was not in their lives ever since, but also passed away last year. They live with their gran, Theresa, who raised six children of her own. They've been living with her son, Hannes, daughter in-law, Euletté and their son Heinrich (9) for the past seven years, in a garden flat at their home in Roodepoort. There is an abundance of love in this family. There is however no money for extras even though the family try their best to make sure that the girls are in need of nothing. Heinrich, their cousin, is the one who suggested that they "do something extra special for this girls" this year. Our Good Morning Angels sponsor, Cell-C gave Heinrich and "The Girls" a tablet and 100 GIG Data each for Christmas and R5000,00 cash for Ouma Theresa, to make their festive time extra special.
Take a listen to the wonderful news from this morning:
