12
00:00:41,405 --> 00:00:41,805
Speaker 1: this year?

13
00:00:43,365 --> 00:00:45,885
Speaker 2: I actually have everything I could ever want. I've had

14
00:00:45,885 --> 00:00:48,764
Speaker 2: a very challenging year, but a really blessed you. I

15
00:00:48,765 --> 00:00:53,245
Speaker 2: would love it if my daughter could receive something. She's

16
00:00:53,365 --> 00:00:56,885
Speaker 2: had really poor health. She has an ongoing condition that

17
00:00:57,725 --> 00:00:59,965
Speaker 2: caused one of her organs to fail this year, and

18
00:01:01,365 --> 00:01:03,445
Speaker 2: in March I donated a kidney to her and she's

19
00:01:03,485 --> 00:01:04,444
Speaker 2: doing really really well.

20
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:05,845
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a year.

21
00:01:05,925 --> 00:01:09,245
Speaker 2: Foregle's really financially hard for her being helped to support her,

22
00:01:09,285 --> 00:01:11,845
Speaker 2: but obviously she doesn't have money to go and spoil herself.

23
00:01:11,845 --> 00:01:16,085
Speaker 2: I would really love it you could treat her absolutely

24
00:01:16,605 --> 00:01:18,645
Speaker 2: a spa day or a night away for both of you.

25
00:01:19,125 --> 00:01:19,765
Speaker 1: Let's get both.

26
00:01:20,285 --> 00:01:22,205
Speaker 2: I have everything I need her and her partner that

27
00:01:22,285 --> 00:01:25,365
Speaker 2: would be amazing I have everything that I could ever

28
00:01:25,405 --> 00:01:26,205
Speaker 2: ask for this year.

29
00:01:26,325 --> 00:01:28,445
Speaker 1: Jenny, what an amazing mum. First of all, you are

30
00:01:28,485 --> 00:01:30,005
Speaker 1: what a thing to do for your daughter.

31
00:01:30,805 --> 00:01:33,765
Speaker 2: Look, honestly I appreciate that Christian, but like you're a dad,

32
00:01:33,805 --> 00:01:35,605
Speaker 2: I know that if your kids needed it, you'd do

33
00:01:35,645 --> 00:01:37,245
Speaker 2: it and you wouldn't think twice. And I was just

34
00:01:37,365 --> 00:01:37,925
Speaker 2: very fortunate.

35
00:01:38,645 --> 00:01:39,965
Speaker 1: We all say that we would do it, but to

36
00:01:40,005 --> 00:01:42,205
Speaker 1: actually do it is a very very big thing. And

37
00:01:42,245 --> 00:01:43,325
Speaker 1: what is your daughter's name?

38
00:01:43,805 --> 00:01:44,565
Speaker 2: Her name's Alie.

39
00:01:44,685 --> 00:01:45,485
Speaker 1: And how is she now?

40
00:01:46,165 --> 00:01:48,325
Speaker 2: She's twenty eight, and how is she?

41
00:01:48,325 --> 00:01:51,965
Speaker 1: She's feeling better, so how she's doing amazing? She's got

42
00:01:52,005 --> 00:01:54,765
Speaker 1: a super mum's kidney.

43
00:01:55,645 --> 00:01:57,285
Speaker 2: I have kind of said to her, you've you've heard

44
00:01:57,285 --> 00:02:01,765
Speaker 2: your pressy for the year. We have a funny they take.

45
00:02:01,765 --> 00:02:04,005
Speaker 1: They take our wallets and sometimes they take our orders.

46
00:02:04,765 --> 00:02:07,205
Speaker 1: It takes to raise these precious kids. Oh my god,

47
00:02:07,205 --> 00:02:08,445
Speaker 1: what a year for you and your fa.

48
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:11,845
Speaker 2: It's been a bit tough, but there's plenty of people

49
00:02:11,885 --> 00:02:13,565
Speaker 2: out there doing it a lot tougher. But if I

50
00:02:13,565 --> 00:02:15,205
Speaker 2: could do something for her, it would mean everything.

51
00:02:15,645 --> 00:02:18,285
Speaker 1: So a spa day, yeah, yeah, something like.

52
00:02:18,245 --> 00:02:21,645
Speaker 2: That away, something to just that she can't spend it

53
00:02:21,685 --> 00:02:23,205
Speaker 2: on bills that she just has to go and do

54
00:02:23,245 --> 00:02:23,805
Speaker 2: something fun.

55
00:02:24,005 --> 00:02:25,725
Speaker 1: Well we will. I'm going to put a call through
