TOUCHING 100 LIVES - Jacqui

Loading player...
Jacqui lived a normal life as a mom of two young children and a wife to her darling husband John, but nothing could’ve prepared her for the fate that would unfold on the 6th of April 2018 when her husband John suddenly passed away.

John worked at Kings School West Rand. His two children attended the school that he worked at, so they had the pleasure of being with or near Dad all day. A fun-loving and hands-on father and husband, John was the one who would fix things around the home and maintain the pool.

Jacqui has experienced some difficult moments since John's passing, one of which involved the electric gate that wouldn’t open because of load-shedding. She broke down in frustration at herself for not having paid attention to how John did or fixed things. The other thing that Jacqui had no idea how to fix or maintain was the pool.

Understandably Jacqui and her children are broken, and life doesn’t seem fair at this time. To provide a modicum of comfort Hot Cares would like to show some love to the family of a man who routinely went over and above the call of duty for his pupils.

Hot Cares will pay for 6 months pool maintenance for Jacqui to the value of R 3600.
