Good Morning Angels: Single mom fighting to help her daughter walk
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Both mom and daughter believe that Christie will be able to walk one day, but this dream is becoming very difficult to fund.
BACKGROUND: Chrisna Lubbe is the hardworking, proud, single mother of Christie. Since Christie’s birth, she has been a little fighter. She was born prematurely and with Cerebral Palsy. Christie has never been able to walk, but she’s been fighting since birth. Chrisna has always put Christie’s needs first. As a single mother, she works long hours, does extra baking and anything else to pay for Christie’s medical needs and physiotherapy. Chrisna’s medical aid is depleted, she has co-payment bills piling up to the point that she would have to give up the physiotherapy that Christie needs. Her friend, Micala, wrote to Good Morning Angels asking for help to keep Christie’s dream of walking one day alive.

ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Goeie môre aan Good Morning Angels en almal by Jacarandafm..
Ek rig graag hierdie brief aan julle vir 'n vriendin wat hulp nodig het vir haar Cerebral Palsy dogter Christy. Haar pragtige dogtertjie is baie vroeg gebore. Maar sy was 'n ware vegtertjie en vandag hou sy aan veg. Die enigste verskil is sy hou aanveg om eendag wel te kan loop.
Chrisna Lubbe 'n enkel mamma, maak hierdie pragtige dogtertjie self groot. Christie is 'n ware Cerebral Palsy vegter. Maar uitdagings is daar beslis.
Hierdie mamma werk lang ure, en haar hande werk oortyd met die mooiste koeke wat sy bak as Christy rustig is, net om seker te maak sy kan voldoen aan haar dogtertjie se vereistes wat Cerebral Palsy het.
Sy het al menigte operasies gehad. Fisio afsprake en nog vele meer. Maar die mamma en dogter Christie gee nie op nie. Soms is mamma regtig moeg maar sal nie moed opgee nie. Ons vra enige hulp vir die mamma. Medies wil nie meer betaal nie. Fisio moet voortgaan maar daar is nie fondse nie.
Ek kom vra met 'n groot hart of daar 'n engel daarbuite is wat hierdie Mamma se vrese om op te moet hou met fisio, te kan kom lig. Sy het al duisende rande spandeer op loopringe, rolstoel, en dit hou aan. Sy is so 'n gelukkige dogtertjie en het haar plekkie gevind in Nuwe Hoop Skool. As ek met my kollega Suretha gesels kan ek die hartseer sien op hulle gesigte vir haar sussie se part. Maar tog is die struggles nooit te groot vir een van hulle nie.
Dankie vir die tyd om hierdie te lees.
Groete
Micala McCrimmon
