Speaker 1: Hello, Hi, is this Jessica. By any chance it is Jessica.
0:11
Speaker 1: Good morning. This is Gabe Glidden and Angie from the
0:14
Speaker 1: Big ninety eight point seven morning radio show. How are
0:17
Speaker 1: you doing.
0:18
Speaker 2: I'm good. How are you guys?
0:19
Speaker 1: We're doing great. Thanks for asking Jessica here at Big
0:23
Speaker 1: ninety eight point seven. We know what time of the
0:25
Speaker 1: year it is, all right, it is Christmas. And one
0:27
Speaker 1: thing we have been doing a lot of is helping
0:30
Speaker 1: people out with Big Christmas Wish. Have you ever heard
0:33
Speaker 1: of Big Christmas Wish?
0:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, my daughter and I listen every morning on the
0:37
Speaker 2: way to school.
0:38
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so cool.
0:39
Speaker 3: We appreciate that. Thank you so much. Well, we actually
0:43
Speaker 3: have your friend Karen on the phone and she wants
0:45
Speaker 3: to tell you something.
0:47
Speaker 2: Okay, so glad you could answer the phone this morning.
0:50
Speaker 2: You had told me that you and your daughter listen
0:53
Speaker 2: to the station every day when you drive to and
0:54
Speaker 2: from school, and how you thought this Christmas Wish program
0:59
Speaker 2: was so amazing for people. And I looked it up
1:03
Speaker 2: on my own and saw that I could nominate you,
1:05
Speaker 2: and I did, and these wonderful people got in contact
1:09
Speaker 2: with me and said, how would you like to extend
1:12
Speaker 2: the Christmas wish to Jess, and I said, well, she
1:15
Speaker 2: really needs it. She really deserves it. She needs all
1:19
Speaker 2: of our help right now, and so that's the reason
1:22
Speaker 2: for the phone call. So Mary Chrising's with you.
1:25
Speaker 3: Oh my god, me, thank you. You're welcome.
1:27
Speaker 1: You needed Karen. Could you share a little bit with us?
1:29
Speaker 1: Why did you nominate Jess?
1:31
Speaker 2: I'm writing to nominate my dear friend Jess for your
1:33
Speaker 2: Christmas wish. She and her fourteen year old daughter listened
1:36
Speaker 2: to your station every day in their drive to and
1:38
Speaker 2: from school, and it's something they truly look forward to.
1:41
Speaker 2: Jess as the kind of person who gives endlessly without
1:44
Speaker 2: ever asking for anything in return. She's a special education
1:47
Speaker 2: teacher in the Frazy School district, a single mother and
1:51
Speaker 2: a homeowner who has worked incredibly hard to provide stability
1:55
Speaker 2: for her daughter. She recently earned her master's degree, but
1:58
Speaker 2: because she had to complete her student teaching with no
2:01
Speaker 2: income for several months, she fell financially behind. That setback
2:06
Speaker 2: has left her struggling to catch up. Despite doing everything right.
2:10
Speaker 2: Even while carrying the load, Jess continues to serve her community.
2:14
Speaker 2: She volunteers with the local club Scouts, says yes to
2:17
Speaker 2: helping kids who need support, pitches in for families facing
2:21
Speaker 2: tough times, and works a second job whenever she can.
2:24
Speaker 2: Her instinct is always to help, never to ask. Being
2:29
Speaker 2: chosen for your Christmas wish would be life changing for Jess.
2:32
Speaker 2: It would take a massive weight off of her shoulders
2:34
Speaker 2: and give her a chance to breathe again after years
2:36
Speaker 2: of pushing forward without complaint. Thank you for considering Jess.
2:40
Speaker 2: She is one of the most selfless, hard working people
2:43
Speaker 2: I know, and supporting her would me and lifting up
2:45
Speaker 2: a mom, a teacher, and a community volunteer who has
2:49
Speaker 2: quietly given so much of herself to others. Love your sister, Oh,
2:52
Speaker 2: thank you, You're wild ane, I mean every word.
2:57
Speaker 1: Well, Jess, that's where Big ninety eight point seven is
2:59
Speaker 1: going to come in. What a fabulous nomination from Karen.
3:03
Speaker 1: You can tell she obviously loves you and cares about
3:05
Speaker 1: you a lot, and so when we read what Karen
3:08
Speaker 1: had to say about you, we knew exactly what we
3:11
Speaker 1: needed to do here at Big ninety eight point seven.
3:13
Speaker 3: You clearly are the definition of just a wonder woman,
3:17
Speaker 3: and you even remind me a bit of my own mom,
3:20
Speaker 3: who never asks for anything, but just does for others
3:24
Speaker 3: without expecting anything in return, but hearing your story, we
3:29
Speaker 3: want to grant you a Christmas wish today and we
3:32
Speaker 3: want to ease some of that burden. So we're going
3:34
Speaker 3: to go ahead and give you one thousand dollars to
3:37
Speaker 3: put towards any of all that you've got going on,
3:41
Speaker 3: and hopefully we can ease some of the burden. We
3:44
Speaker 3: just we know that you deserve it and we want
3:47
Speaker 3: to help you out today with one thousand dollars.
3:49
Speaker 2: Oh my god, thank you guys so much with Big
3:54
Speaker 2: Band so one.
3:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're glad we were able to step in and help.
3:57
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for answering our call today, and
4:02
Speaker 1: we hope that this just provides a little uplifting spirit
4:05
Speaker 1: around the holidays. It can obviously be hard when you
4:08
Speaker 1: have everything else going on and then Christmas coming up.
4:12
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we just wish you a merry Christmas or
4:14
Speaker 1: a happy holiday to whatever you might celebrate, so we
4:17
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy it.
