UPDATE: Please do not post your Christmas Wishes on this blog, click here for the 94.7 Christmas Wishlist website. Thanks.
Once again, the other morning saw us wiping our eyes after hearing another heartwarming story on 94.7’s Christmas Wishlist. This time it was for Adri Briel, whose 7-year old son sold his bicycle for R40 because she didn’t have money for bread.
He sold the bike, bought some bread and gave her all the change. What an amazing kid.

Cute? More like YUK! How contrived. Xmas wishlist – A croc of crap to make listeners get weepy. There is a lot real need in this country but unless its cute its not newsworthy. Mum is a supervisor at a cellphone company? You mean those bandits who have been fleecing us relentlessly for over a decade and continue to do so. I think she should have enough money to give her kid R2. I bet Highveld would have loved it if the kid was disabled or had sold a kindney instead of a bike. Thanks for listening

Ek wil graag n wens uitstuur na my ma toe. Ja, ek weet elke dogter wil iets spesial vir hulle ma’s doen. Daarom maak ek gebruik van die geleentheid, want my ma verdien dit.
Ma jy is alles wat n mens wil he. Jy was en is nog altyd daar vir ons sonder om te kla en sonder die NEE woord. Ons wardeur dit, maar nie eenkeer het ons gedink hoe ma voel nie.
94.7 Ek wil graag he dat die brief julle aandag moet trek.
My ma kom uit n baie weldadige huwelik waar drank die baas was. Ons kinders was nog klein, maar nogsteeds het sy eerste aan ons gedink en dan aan haarself. Sy het op die ou end met my pa geskei waar my pa ons met net ons klere gelos het. Dit het nie my ma onder gekry nie. Sy het net n nuwe begin gemaak. Gewerk as n kassiere en drie kinders in die skool geonder hou. As n mens klein is besef mens nie wat die lewe oor gaan nie en ons het nie die lewe vir my ma maklik gemaak nie.
Sy het n paar jaar nadat sy geskei is n man ontmoet, nou ja dit was “haar geluk” wat ons kinders nie kon verstaan het nie. So het die lewe aan gegaan….
Toe tref die tragedie. Die man is dood en die seer kon nie genees. n Jaar daarna is my pa oorlede, nou hoe genees mens nou van die seer. Maar nogsteeds het my ma sterk gebly vir ons kinders.
So het die jare verby gegaan en al die drie kinders het skool klaar gemaak. My ma het alleen deur die moeilike tyd gegaan maar die krag van die Here is groot en het vir haar n wonderlike man gegee.
Hulle het n plot op Badplaas gekoop en daar was my ma op haar gelukkigste. Toe tref die tragedie weer n keer. Sy en haar man moes Pretoria toe en vir my boetie gevra om die plot op te pas. Wat gebeur toe? Iemand steek my ma se huis aan die brand waar my broer gesukkel het om uit te kom. Op n manier het hy uit die huis gekom maar hy was net vlamme. Die buurman het dit gesien, die vlamme op my broer probeer blus en met hom na die plaaslike hospitaal gejaag waar daar nie fasaliteite vir sulke gevalle is nie. My broer het gelewe vir vier dae waarna my ma hom versorg het.
Net n paar maande later het sy haar broer en suster verloor en moes sterk wees vir haar ma. Nou vra ek HOE kan een persoon deur sulke HEl gaan. Deur om alles te verloor en net weer op te staan en van voor af te begin. Sy is ook maar net n mens en met trane in my oe vra ek hoe genees mens die seerste seer en hoe genees mens n gebroke hart want sy verdien dit nie. Die pyn waardeur my ma is kan niemand genees nie.
Nou werk sy by n maatskappy waar sy gelukkig is maar werk haar dood. Sy werk sewe dae n week sonder n rus kansie. Sy doen so baie vir ander sonder om iets terug te vra. Dit is n ma 2000. My ma is ons rolmodel en ons kyk op na haar.
My wens vir my ma en haar man is net om wegtebreek. Sonder om n vinger te lig. Sonder om enige stress te he en net om te ontspan, al kan dit nie die seer en hartseer wegvat nie, maar net vir ma die geleentheid gee om te RUS. Ma is alees vir ons, ons is baie lief vir ma
Groete

Hi All,
Just want to say that all invoved with making wishes come true and alleviating some hardships are truely angels.
To the cynics,SHAME!!!
It’s sad that we as a nation have become so self absorbed that we think other peoples suffering is a “Crock of Crap”
You might oneday be in a similar (or worse) situation,and people will be saying the same to you. How would you feel?
The fact of the matter is no matter how big or small an act of kindness it never goes unnoticed and is truely appreciated by those on the receiving end.
Have you ever done or given something to someone just because you could and they couldn’t? I don’t think so, because then you’d understand how good it makes a person feel to know you’ve helped make a difference.
November 21st, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Totally agree Samantha.
November 28th, 2008 at 11:17 am
To the Cynics, SHAME once again!!!!
you are obviously the type that have it all, but deep inside you just as unhappy as those begging to be helped, but just not man enough to stand up and ask for help.
Hopefully one day when you need a little bit of hope and help, that God blesses you cos you just dont deserve it.
Thanks sam and Jeremy for a great show..

Hi Morning Team
Thank you once again for an amazing show. I just love the Christmas Wish List. It is such a wake up call for me to realise that there are so many more unfortunate people out there with problems worse than mine. We tend to have our own pity parties and feel so sorry for ourselves not realising that there are people out there who cannot afford the time to have self pity. Shame on the cynics, you should be ashamed of your behaviour. Can’t wait for this comming week. Regards Jill

Hallo 94.7
My naam is Bianca, ek bly in krugersdorp en skryf werklik die brief uit die diepte van my hart vir my twee dogertjies. Hulle name is nicole en chane. Ek hoop en Bid dat die Here my net help dat julle my brief kry. Ek is een van die mammas wat net i wonderlike kersfees vir my kindres wil he.
94.7 span asb moet nie my briefie mis kyk nie, ons is i gesin wat vreeslik swaar kry en Bid elke aand dat God ons net moet help om more aand i bord kos op die tafel te sit, my man werk maar sy selaris is nie baie goed nie, die wereld is moeilik daar buite en duur. my kinders is altyd tevrede met wat hulle kry al is dit net twee rand vir skool.
Nicole is sewe jaar oud en is gr 1 maar dit is so moeilik sy eet by die sopkombuis want daar ia nie altyd geld vir brood nie, as ons vir haar 5 rand skool toe gee sal sy altyd vir haar sussie i lekker huis toe bring, sy is i pragtige kind en my wens is dat ek net vir hulle een kersfees kan gee om na uit te sien. Die Here het vir my 2 pragtige kinders gegee en ek en my man probeer ons bes maar ons kan nie altyd nie. Ek vra julle uit die diepte van my harjie om te help dat my kinders net i wonderlike kersfees kan he waarna hulle kan terug kyk en lag.
Al wat ek wil he is vir hulle om gelukkig te wees op kersfees te lag en kinders te wees asb as jukke my en my gesin kan help met enige iets wat kan help om hlle kersfees lekker te maak. Die geheim van swaarkry is om te Bid te glo vir mekaar lief te wees en by mekeer te staan en ons vergeet nooit van God nie, dan is daar 94.7 ek Bid dat God miet help dat julle nie my wens moet mis kyk nie want ons het jullu hulp nodig.
Mag God julle goeie hartjies seen.
Groete Bianca Oliviet

27 November 22009
My naam is Denise. Ek het ‘n groot kersfees wens
my skoonsuster Cornelia Powell het die 25 November 2009 ‘n ernstige hartaanval gehad in is in I.C.U. In die N17 hospitaal opgeneem sy het nie ‘n medies ni en is n enkel ouer wat werkloos is. Haar hospitaal onkostes beloop so R12500-00 per dag. Sy moet so gou as moontlik ‘n angiogram van die hart laat doen maar ons het ni die fondse nie. Die Dr. kry ook ni vir haar ‘n bed in die Barragwana hospitaal in die I.C.U. nie as iemand ‘n oop hart het ons sal dit baie waardeur. Sy het ook ‘n seun wat volgende jaar nog matriek moet klaar maak.
Baie Dankie

I would like to know if only needy and sick people could submit a wish list. A colleague of mine have two kids Johan (9) and Analize (8) who perform extremely well in karate. They received 70 medals between them in 2009. They both received invitations to particicpate in the USA next year, but finance is a problem. They are looking for sponsers to help.
Thanks for fantastic work done by you all.
