Viarshan Naidoo
It has been a really difficult year for so many people and through the hardships and trials seen in many of the wishes granted, almost made things so much worse for us as Joburgers. People struggling with financial problems and trying to get through as best they can.
Then I hear the wish this morning about how a young man (Viarshan) was celebrating at the fact that he had a new job and after his car stalled on the highway a tow truck hit him head-on which left Viarshan in a life threatening situation.
Without too much of detail, Viarshan had to have craniotomy surgeory (basically they cut a piece of his skull out to release pressure on his brain), he was then placed in an induced comma for 2 months. Viarshan cannot walk, stand or even balance his body, he is fully dependant on his parents and family to feed him, bath him, change his nappies and give him his medication.

Now Viarshan has to have Crainioplasty surgeory to have the place of his skull put back, apart from this, this young man is going to need physiotherapy, facial surgeory and alot of love and courage.
My hat goes off to an icredable team that has managed to pull this off. A very special thanks to Viarshan’s parents and family for pulling through thus far it is not an easy task but you have shown how much you love and care about your child. Thanks to the Christmas Wish team that has made all this posible and the amazing sponsors who have shown they have a heart of gold.
All in all Viarshan will receive R650 000, to help with medical costs, for the surgeory needed, for rehab, and for a better vehicle to transport Viarshan around in. Silverstar Casino and Europcar thank you.

Good Morning Guys
I was looking forward to this morning Christmas wish but I was not able to listen, however for the wish that was granted this morning I think not just for me but for many around Johannesburg the team came through again changing lives and making a difference. I was one of thousands who sent an email on behalf of Viarshan. The wish granted has not just made my day but my Christmas.
Wishing you guys a merry Christmas.
Regards

Well done to the 94.7 team and their sponsors. It’s good to know that good still exists in people and hopefully this is a sign to let the rest of us live life like there’s no tomorrow ‘coz clearly we never know if we will have a tomorrow.
Hi Guys
I just want to tell you that you are truly great for what you have done for Viarshan and his family,my family was in a similar situation and it is not easy. May God bless all of you that helped and may He shower you with his richest blessings now and always.
May the spirit of ubuntu keep on reaching to everyone as 94.7 did. God said he will never leave no forsake us. Let’s allow Jesus to use us in order to bring chance and change to others.
Thanks be to God for what He has done for this people. Thank you Jeremy and your team and the sponsers for making yourself available to be used by God to bless these people. May God bless you richly and may all of you have a blessed Christmas with your families.
Thanks
Mari
