This week’s Hot Cares story is for the animal lovers. Helga Tsoumbris is the owner of Mama Kasi Rural Rescue, and she spends her life in townships taking dogs for sterilizations, vaccinations, parasite control as well as educating community members on importance of good pet care.

Sonja, a mother of two boys (aged 12 and 14) whose lives had taken a dramatic turn in 2019.

At around this time last year Sonja’s partner and the father of her children, Garth was diagnosed with Oesophagus Cancer. Unfortunately, the Cancer spread so quickly and aggressively that it took his life within a matter of months.

She herself was diagnosed with a Cancerous cyst and had to have medical attention. Shortly after Sonja recovered and was able to drive again, her mother was diagnosed with Cancer and has had to undergo chemotherapy treatment.

Her one son is in high school has a an up and coming rugby camp that he would love to attend which is the reason Gavin got in touch with us.

Hot Cares recently received a request to help the “Get Up Women” NPC by one of the Hot 91.9 FM clients who was previously in an abusive relationship. She had managed to not only get out of the abusive relationship because of “Women Get Up”, she had totally transformed her life.

The founder, Gigi White named it “Get Up Women”, because she wants to send a strong message to all victims to:

"GET UP; IT IS A COMMAND NOT A REQUEST!

GET UP AND DO SOMETHING

BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO

BECAUSE YOUR CHILDREN NEED YOU TO

BECAUSE IT IS THEIR FUTURE

BECAUSE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL & WORTHY”

Lynn Tyack is a single foster mother to three children, who live with her in her home. This is not the first time she has fostered, and she has a passion for opening her heart, and home to children who need it the most.

In January she opened her home to two new children, the social worker arrived with a one-month old baby girl and a tiny 2-year-old boy. The babies had been taken away from their parents as their parents are heavily addicted to drugs. Lynn’s home is now full, and apart from school drops she will be spending most of her time homebound, as a single mom with a new-born and four toddlers.
