A pull on the heart strings: Stacey pledges R7000 to her honorary mom

Loading player...
Galleria Mall has been giving listeners a chance to win a share of R50,000 with their ‘Pay It Forward’ campaign.for almost four weeks - for a friend, a family member or someone in their community who is in need. This is a truly heart-warming campaign. Some of the winners who were rewarded with the spend at the mall really touched our hearts. The team at Galleria Mall have been so gracious as to give us R14.000 (R7,000 each) to pay forward to someone we know personally.

For Stacey, the person she wanted to nominate is a woman whom has become her honorary mother in KZN. Her name is Makhosi. When Stacey first moved down to Durban from Johannesburg, she was without a home and did not know a lot of people in the province outside of work. When she finally found a place to settle in, she met Makhosi, the two women hit it off instantly.

Makhosi has become Stacey's confidante and helps her keep sane. Makhosi has had a rough couple of weeks with only being able to work remotely because of COVID-19 regulations. She also recently had a break in at her home, which devastated her and so this money would go a long way in helping her.
