Amanda from Sydney, Australia, thought 2017 was her year. After all, things were finally looking up for her, and she was waiting for happiness, love, and a whole lot more.
After trying to get pregnant for three years, Amanda finally managed to conceive. She and her husband had recently moved to a new house after saving up for the past two years.
In short, Amanda was in the perfect place. Until her world came crashing down around her.
Her husband was up and left out of the blue, leaving Amanda eight months pregnant and in debt from their new home.
With a baby on the way and she did not have sufficient income, the pregnant woman was in a difficult situation. Heartbroken, poor, and worried for the future, she turned to her friends for help. It was then that one of them, Anna, suggested she write to the local radio station, KIIS 1065, and try and win a spot in their “Giveback” segment.

As soon as the station learned of Amanda’s situation, they decided to intervene. They wanted to encourage her to keep the faith; to show her that everything could be okay after all. However, they needed the help from local businesses.
KIIS 1065 invited Amanda and Anna to their radio broadcast, with the unsuspecting Amanda having no idea what would happen. In conversation with radio hosts, Amanda explained that the worst part of her predicament was the uncertainty facing her and her unborn child.
“It was about five weeks since this happened,” Amanda said.
“And the biggest thing is just the shock, I think because it wasn’t really what we planned, or what I planned.”

After Amanda had finished with her story, one of the radio hosts turned to face a television screen in the studio. Playing on the screen was camera footage of Amanda’s new house. Except, it was different. It wasn’t how Amanda had left it … there were a number of items she didn’t recognize.
The cameraman gave a tour of the house and highlighted several gifts that had been donated by wonderful people.
There was a vacuum cleaner that symbolized free home cleaning for the next six months, as well as a pledge from Eat Fit Food to deliver daily meals for the next three months. There were also $4,000 worth of baby items, including a $1,000 voucher for baby photos.
However, the biggest surprise was shown when the camera panned to the over door. The door was opened to reveal a $10,000 stack of cash – Amanda won’t have to worry about paying her mortgage right away!

Well, that certainly left us with tears in our eyes. There are still good people in the world.
