Flight Centre and Highveld's Christmas Wish List

Every year all of Joburg sits in the traffic with smeared make up and sniffy noses as we listen to the Rude Awakening on Highveld Stereo. The Christmas Wish List is an institution and an incredible opportunity to give back to the community in which we operate.

 

Flight Centre is proud to be associated with Christmas Wish List and this year we were able to make Michael Steyn's wish come true.

 

Michael is a happy, friendly young lad who suffers from cystic fibrosis. His parents have given up everything to keep him alive. Friends and family have pitched in and complete strangers have put up their hands to help where they can. Michael needs a liver transplant and while a donor has been found they don’t think that he will be strong enough to make it through the operation. Cystic Fibrosis affects the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe. All sorts of complications can set in so his doctors will now do all they can to make him as comfortable as possible.

 

This 11 year old boy has two wishes:

·         A four-wheeler and,

·         To see the sea before he dies

 

Flight Centre, in conjuction with uShaka Marine World and Three Cities have put together a dream holiday for Michael and his family. With the kind and generous pledges of staff we have also raised R20 000 towards spending money for the holiday and Michael will be getting his four-wheeler!

 

We hope that these small gifts go a long way to making your Christmas so special with your family.
