Big Favour: Anitha gets new wheelchair thanks to Durban family
Updated | By Damon Beard
In memory of their late father, this family helped provide a Durban woman with a new lease on life.
Listen to Thursday's #BigFavour with Damon in the podcast then read more below:
Even though she is a double amputee and lost her husband a few weeks ago, Anitha is still very active and is so positive. Despite her loss and being unemployed, Anitha continues to do good for others.

Anitha is currently using a borrowed wheelchair which is damaged, torn, and pretty much unusable. When Ree saw this, she knew that she had to step in and try to assist with getting her a new wheelchair.
I then received an email from Dr Pragen Naidoo and his family who had lost their dad recently. He had a brand new wheelchair which he'd used for a week before he passed away.
In memory of their late dad, Pragen and his family wanted to donate it to someone special and Anitha seemed like the perfect person to get it.
A big thank you to the Naidoo family who have helped Anitha to gain confidence in herself, and allowed her to continue her stellar work in the community.
