Good Morning Angels episodes

  • Helping 10-year-old cancer patient Zayyan Peterson and his family
    Ten-year-old Zayyan Peterson loves science, mathematics and geography. He also loves reading, swimming, gaming and dogs.

    Unfortunately, Zayyan has not been able to attend school this year because he has been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

    Zayyan was just nine years old when he was diagnosed shortly after Christmas last year. He has been receiving treatment at Steve Biko Academic Hospital and is currently on maintenance treatment.

    His immune system is still too compromised for him to return to school or be among large groups of people. GMA webpage

  • Helping Wollies to take care of the animals that have no one else
    Wollies Animal Shelter has been a bastion of animal welfare in greater Pretoria for three decades. At the helm is Cilla Trexler, who has grown the shelter while loving and caring for all the animals with compassion, dedication and tireless fundraising.

    Wollies currently has 700 dogs and 300 cats in its care, a mammoth task that Cilla and her team take on with grace.

    The Good Morning Angels Fund will assist Wollies with the funds to pay off their R60 000 vet bill, as well as another R60 000 for other needs to keep their animals safe and cared for. GMA webpage

  • Assitance for young boy who suffers severe burns after falling into bath filled with hot water
    Three-year-old Peyton Wahl is the youngest of Marcel and Sheramé’s three children. His sisters are in Grades R and 2.

    It is still unclear exactly what happened, but the short of it is that Peyton fell into a bath of piping hot water at home. He sustained severe second- and third-degree burns to 21% of his little body.

    He was rushed to the nearest private hospital. Soon after, he was transferred to a state hospital in Pretoria, as the family does not have medical aid and the costs were simply out of their financial reach. GMA webpage

  • Good Morning Angels recipient Nkosinathi Moyo's fashion stuns on the runway
    Nkosinathi Moyo's passion for fashion inspired a community to help him realise his dream.

    "He’s a talented young designer with a passion for making South Africa’s fashion industry one of the best in the world."

    We met Nkosinathi Moyo earlier this year.

    He is an extremely talented and passionate third-year Fashion Design student. He is also the president of the SRC and a mentor to other students on campus.

    Good Morning Angels assisted Nkosinathi with funding for his third-year studies.

    His first two years were sponsored after his dad showed off some of his fashion pieces in Centurion traffic, asking for support.

    Nkosinathi was recently part of a huge fashion show at the SunBet Arena, showcasing what he is all about. GMA webpage

  • Giving the children of New Jerusalem a safe place to play
    New Jerusalem Children’s Home was founded 26 years ago, in 2000, initially to create a home for HIV/Aids orphans.

    Today, it is home to 120 children.

    A preschool was built in 2009 to serve their own children, as well as children from the surrounding community, whose parents pay a monthly fee.

    At its peak, the preschool had 120 enrolled children, providing a critical income stream to help sustain the orphanage.

    Due to a lack of funds, they were unable to maintain or improve the preschool playground, which has seen enrolment drop to 50 children.

    “Parents cite safety concerns. Our 250 m² playground is dilapidated, has no impact surfacing, no shade, and an unsafe old jungle gym,” says Anna.

    She had to retrench several ECD teachers, and the home’s income has taken a significant knock.

    Our friends at Absa assisted New Jerusalem with the R350 000 needed to upgrade their play area, and today we check in to hear how it’s going. GMA webpage

  • R2,5 million to assist patients with cochlear implants: Meet our first recipient
    To mark Mandela Day last month, Good Morning Angels collaborated with former Miss SA Mia le Roux and her AboutSound initiative to raise funds for cochlear implants.

    We managed to raise R2,5 million to cover the costs of the implant procedures for 25 state patients on Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital’s cochlear implant list.

    Three patients received their implants at the Ear & Eye Clinic in Meyersdal on 23 July, and this past Friday, their devices were switched on. These patients are Abdullah Myles (1 year and 7 months), Amaleko Baloyi (2) and Moloko Mokgawa (9).

    This is the start of their journey of audiological and speech therapy at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital’s audiology department, which will enable them to hear and speak! GMA webpage

    Lindiwe Sanitary Pads will manufacture and supply Lebogang’s TS Pad a Girl Foundation with sanitary pads for her ongoing outreach and school programme, as needed, to the value of R25 000. GMA webpage
