I want to say thank you to all who helped us during this trying time with Zebedee’s hospitalisation.
Mauritz Jacobs from Rentrak, Zeb’s partner, for arranging for Zeb to get to the hospital as quickly as possible and for telling him to use his belt to tie around his leg. I am sure you saved his life and I will be forever grateful that he has such a great partner by his side.
To the people from Rentrak, for being of assistance at the Sunward Park Hospital and for the support offered and for all the support you have offered and to assist us towards fuel and food costs; it has helped tremendously.
Wesley from Tracker and Mohammed from Fidelity, for your assistance at the hospital.
Quinton Steenberg from EMPD, for arranging the helicopter that took Zeb to and from Sunward Park Hospital to Milpark Hospital. You are one of the reasons Zeb is still here with us today.
Joao Oliveira, manager of Aldeia Restaurant in Brackenhurst, thank you for going every night to see Zeb when I couldn’t be there to hold his hand and tell him everything is going to be alright.
Rian Steenkamp, the trauma counsellor at Milpark Hospital, for keeping me updated on what was happening with Zeb before he was taken into theatre on the night he arrived there.
Alexander Mindszenty and Rensche Bate, for taking me to the hospital on the night of the shooting and numerous times thereafter and Corrie Botha for taking me to the hospital and always offering to help out with a lift.
Tjaart Coetzee, thank you for all the support you have offered. You have a heart as big as my Zebbies, always willing to go the extra mile.

Willie and Dominique Van Wyk. Thank you Willie for arranging the Back a Buddy and for both of you for all the support you have offered. You both have hearts of gold.

Peter Paget and Annemie Loureiro for assisting me with a lift to the hospital and for the wonderful support from both of you.
