HOT CARES - GET UP WOMEN NPC
Hot Cares recently received a request to help the “Get Up Women” NPC by one of the Hot 91.9 FM clients who was previously in an abusive relationship. She had managed to not only get out of the abusive relationship because of “Women Get Up”, she had totally transformed her life.
The founder, Gigi White named it “Get Up Women”, because she wants to send a strong message to all victims to:
"GET UP; IT IS A COMMAND NOT A REQUEST!
GET UP AND DO SOMETHING
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO
BECAUSE YOUR CHILDREN NEED YOU TO
BECAUSE IT IS THEIR FUTURE
BECAUSE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL & WORTHY”

HOT CARES - LYNN TYACK
Lynn Tyack is a single foster mother to three children, who live with her in her home. This is not the first time she has fostered, and she has a passion for opening her heart, and home to children who need it the most.
In January she opened her home to two new children, the social worker arrived with a one-month old baby girl and a tiny 2-year-old boy. The babies had been taken away from their parents as their parents are heavily addicted to drugs. Lynn’s home is now full, and apart from school drops she will be spending most of her time homebound, as a single mom with a new-born and four toddlers.

HOT CARES - CINDY VAN WYK AND MILKSHAKE DIARIES
Cindy is a breast cancer survivor who underwent a bilateral mastectomy and cancer treatment. Her cancer was caught early and she is in remission mostly due to her faith and the fact that she had access to the correct medical treatment.
The sad reality is that there are too many women who do not have the financial means or access to cancer health services to detect cancer early on and have a better chance at survival. Being a breast cancer survivor, Cindy became an ambassador for PinkDrive, South Africa’s Breast Cancer Community Carer, who powers South Africa’s first and only mobile Women’s Health Mammography and Gynaecology Units.
Now, Cindy is giving back and wanting to raise money for PinkDrive for a new mobile mammography unit and to educate women in Africa about breast cancer, by becoming the first breast cancer survivor to cycle the Tour d’ Afrique cycle race (https://tdaglobalcycling.com/tour-dafrique) – 12,000kms from Cairo to Cape Town, on a bicycle called Milkshake.
Hot Cares will be donating R5,000.00 towards Cindy’s journey, if you would like to get involved, you can get in touch with Cindy by visiting her website: http://milkshakediaries.co.za/
