Make My Monday Follow-Up: The Scenic Drive surprises 80-year-old during lockdown

The Scenic Drive received a handwritten letter from a listener who needed a thoughtful gift to surprise her 80-year-old aunt.

HERE'S THE HANDWRITTEN LETTER: 

Jolene Buitendag addressed a letter to The Scenic Drive. In the letter, she states that her 80-year-old aunt, Lorraine Bezuidenhout is alone during the national lockdown and her son lives in New Zealand. 

Bezuidenhout received the news that she is also becoming blind - and there is nothing that the doctors can do. Jolene Buitendag decided to write to the Scenic Drive to surprise Bezuidenhout for her birthday on 18 June 2020. 

THE SURPRISE: 

Compliments of Nafeesa at Wanderlust Novelty Cakes

• Chocolates and chocolate-dipped strawberries. 

Compliments of Amy at Hyper Flora Witbank:

• 80 stems of mixed roses
• 8 baskets full of roses
