Speaker 1: It's Dave Ryan over at KATWB. We called you a

31
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,640

Speaker 1: got a few minutes, Page, Yeah, okay, good. I got

35
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: an email from your friend Carrie. Who is Carrie to you?

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: Carrie is my uh that is my aunt, your aunt Carrie.

37
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: Okay. So she wrote in and she told us why

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: you might be a good recipient for Christmas wish, and

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: she wrote the following letter. If you got a minute,

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to read this to you Page okay. Of

41
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: course I am nominating Page for a special Christmas wish

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: because she is an extraordinary eighteen year old who's carried

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: a lifetime of responsibility on her shoulders with a heart

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: full of love. When I hired her three months ago

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: as a shift manager, she immediately showed a rare mix

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: of leadership, maturity, and genuine compassion. She lifted her team up,

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: took pride in her work, and always stepped into help

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: without hesitation. As I got to know her more, she

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: opened up about the role she played at home, picking

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: her younger siblings up from school, cooking for them, helping

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: her mom, bringing them to doctor appointments, doing whatever she

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: could to help out. Page has always been the kind

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: of person who gives and gives, and gives quietly, humbly,

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: without expecting anything in return. The day before her world shattered,

55
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Page and her mother were excitedly planning Christmas presents for

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the kids and looking forward to thanksgif. They were full

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: of hope, talking about how special the holidays would be.

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: The very next day, while Paige was at work cleaning

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: and preparing the store for the dinner rush with her

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: usual positive spirit, she received the call that changed her

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: life forever. I washed her break into pieces in front

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: of me, her whole world collapsing in seconds, Yet even

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: in her pain, the very first words out of her

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: mouth were about her siblings. Do the kids know? Are

65
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: they okay? Her instinct was still to protect them before herself.

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: She rushed to the hospital, only to be told that

67
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: she was the one who had to speak for her mother,

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: make the arrangements, and face the unimaginable reality of losing

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: the person she relied on most. Beneath her brave face

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: is a young woman who is tired, scared, and grieving deeply.

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: You remember that phone call, Yes, what was the news?

72
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: When you answered the phone? What was the news?

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: I got called my grandfather and tea. I heard, Hey,

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: my mom's in the hospital. What happened? Is she okay?

75
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: And the first thing he told me was she collapsed,

76
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: said that she was rushed to the hospital and she

77
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: was on.

78
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: It just kind of out of the blue. Yeah, So

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: she had seemed reasonably healthy and then just gone, Yeah,

80
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: she was.

81
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: A little sick. But like in the letter, it said,

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: just the night before we were talking, she was fine,

83
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: she was laughing, and then I got the call at work.

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: It was random, it was unexpected.

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: The letter goes on to say, since that heartbreaking moment,

86
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Paige just carried responsibilities no teenager should ever have to

87
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: face alone. She is planning her mother's services while stepping

88
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: into the role of primary caregiver for your four younger

89
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: siblingsings two of whom are autistic, fighting through overwhelming grief,

90
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: financial strain, and the fear of the unknown. When did

91
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Mom pass?

92
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: She pas on excuse me Friday the.

93

Speaker 1: Twenty first, So just just ten days ago, So a

94
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: week ago Friday. Yes, she is trying to hold her

95
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: family together with nothing but her strength or love and determination.

96
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Granting Page and siblings of Christmas wish would bring a

97
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: ray of hope into the darkest time of her life

98
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: and remind Paige that she is not alone, that her

99
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: strength has not gone unnoticed, and that she deserves comfort,

100
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: support and a moment of peace. And that is from caring.

101
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: So are you familiar at all, Paige with Katie WB's

108
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's financial, sometimes it's just heartbreaking. Sometimes they just

135
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: don't know what a Nintendo sixty is. I think they

136
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: might mean a switch. I think I don't know what

137
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: a Nintendo sixty is, but we don't think four. Maybe

138
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Nintendo sixty four is twenty five year old. So I'm

139
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: sure we didn't get you one of those. They probably

140
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: they probably typed it up wrong. Nintendo girl, you're getting

141
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,600
