- 0:04Speaker 1: for Christmas Wish. Amanda's in the studio. Good morning, Amanda,
- 0:07Speaker 1: Good morning. Tell us a little bit about Jamie.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Well, Jamie and I have worked together for about three
- 0:13Speaker 2: and a half years, and we have definitely become work besties.
- 0:17Speaker 2: She's a single mom of three amazing kids. But during
- 0:21Speaker 2: the last few years I watched her and the kids
- 0:23Speaker 2: go through a pretty difficult situation which thankfully they've been
- 0:26Speaker 2: able to.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Get through, like a divorce or something, or breakup.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Or relationship, no relationship okay, not positive environment for all
- 0:34Speaker 2: of them, okay. And this is what amazes me about
- 0:37Speaker 2: Jamie is her ability to push through in the midst
- 0:40Speaker 2: of hardship, putting her own needs aside to do what's
- 0:43Speaker 2: best for the kids. And this is just an addition
- 0:45Speaker 2: to her being such a kind, caring person who is
- 0:48Speaker 2: always there to help others and not asking for anything
- 0:50Speaker 2: in return for herself. But I'm really just honored to
- 0:53Speaker 2: call Jamie a friend and watch her be Mom of
- 0:55Speaker 2: the Year. Literally every day.

- 1:33Speaker 3: in law's room yesterday at the hospital and they're in

- 2:16Speaker 3: Hello.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Hi is Jamie there? Please? This is Jamie. Hey Jamie,
- 2:20Speaker 1: it's John, Jay and Rich. We're wondering if you will
- 2:22Speaker 1: talk to us on the radio for just a minute.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Please sure you know your friend your coworker, Amanda, I
- 2:31Speaker 3: do she wrote us a letter about you.
- 2:33Speaker 1: We asked her to come in the studio and read
- 2:35Speaker 1: you the letter. Okay, all right, do you have a
- 2:39Speaker 1: second I do? Okay, Well, whenever you're ready, Amanda.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Okay, good morning Jamie, Hey girl, all right, I said,
- 2:49Speaker 2: dear John, Jay, and Rich, I would like to nominate
- 2:52Speaker 2: my coworker and friend, Jamie. She's a single mother of three,
- 2:55Speaker 2: two preteens and one teenager, and she amazes me every
- 2:58Speaker 2: day with how hard she work to provide for her children.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Despite facing many years of financial strain and personal challenges
- 3:05Speaker 2: that would discourage most people, Jamie gets up each day
- 3:08Speaker 2: determined to give her kids stability. She consistently puts her
- 3:12Speaker 2: own needs last so her children can have a safe home,
- 3:15Speaker 2: meals on the table, and a future to look forward to.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Money is incredibly tight for her, and Christmas is especially tough.
- 3:22Speaker 2: After paying rent, utilities, and basic necessities for three growing kids,
- 3:26Speaker 2: there is very little left for holiday activities, gifts, or
- 3:30Speaker 2: anything extra. Even then, Jamie somehow finds a way to
- 3:34Speaker 2: make her kids feel loved and supported. But I know
- 3:36Speaker 2: how much she quietly sacrifices behind the scenes. Jamie is
- 3:40Speaker 2: one of the most humble and carrying people I've ever known.
- 3:43Speaker 2: She goes out of her way to help coworkers, neighbors,
- 3:45Speaker 2: and friends, and her kids reflect that same resilience and gratitude.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Receiving this Christmas wish would bring so much joy and
- 3:52Speaker 2: relief to Jamie and her kids, and I would love
- 3:54Speaker 2: to see them get an extra special surprise this holiday
- 3:57Speaker 2: sees it. I love you, I.
