Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We've been asking you basically if you need a hand
or if you know someone that does, and lots of
people have been getting to mix one or two to
three dot com dot au and one of those people
that actually said, yeah, you know what, I need a
little bit of help. Here is Nicole and she's with
us now.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Good morning Nicole, Good morning guys.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Tell us your story.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
So, first and foremost, I'm a mum of four beautiful girls,
a wife, also studying to be a nurse.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, what's studying to be a nurse like?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Going back to studying has been a massive jump. It's hard,
so she when you've got work and kids and just
life in general, what.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Made you want to study there? With all everything else
that's going on.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
So I've always wanted to be a nurse. And then, unfortunately,
a few years ago, my husband suffered a massive heart
attack and that gave us all a huge reality shock
that not only is life too short, but if there's
something that you want, then go out and get it.
And I just want to show my girls you're never
too old reach for your dream.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Sometimes when something like that would happen, it would say, right, A,
life's tis short. I'm going to go to Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
To study.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
But you you want to be a nurse. What do
you love about it?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I just think that it's an absolute privilege to, you know,
stand there and help someone or hold their hand or
be there for them and do what you can for them.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Your husband, Morris, he's okay, now he is.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
You know, it's taken a while. He had about eight
or nine months off work. So obviously during that time
we chewed through quite a bit of savings and we
made lots of sacrifices. You know, my kids have had
to make sacrifices for me. My husband has made sacrifices
for me. It's extremely hard with children, with life, with
(01:47):
everything to try and you know, fiddle that in.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
How do kids go that they're making sacrifices. As a kid,
you just you want the things, but at the same time,
you want to show them they can achieve their dreams
and do everything that they can. That's what you're trying
to show them. But they're still having to make these sacrifices.
On the side, my.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Two older girls obviously understand a lot more, but it's hard.
I think maybe the two younger ones probably don't quite
understand it. You know, you're trying to explain that Mum
can't go here or Mum can't do this because mum's
got an assignment due. And I think probably over the
last twelve months they've started to get used to it
a bit more, and you know and understand there's other
people out there who are making far more sacrifices than
(02:27):
what I am, and you know, are doing it a
lot harder than what I am. I'm just lucky that
I have an extremely understanding husband most of the time.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, we actually have a little bit of surprise for you.
You don't know this has happened, but that beautiful understanding
husband of yours got your four girls, your sixteen year
old MIAs, twelve year old's here and ten year old
either and seven year old little Lana got them together
to have a chat about what it is that you're
doing and what it means to them.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
What is mum's dream and why to be in nurse
at the Wilmer's and Children's Hospital. She's always wanted to
do that ever since she was a little kid.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Why is mom an inspiration to you?
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Because she's nice and she cares for other people.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
She's always working hard to look after my sisters and I.
She also inspires me to do my best and never
give up.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
What would you want to spoil Mom with that she
doesn't do for herself.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
The holiday where she gets to relax the whole time.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
What would it mean to Mom to go to the laptop.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
It would mean a lot because she really want to
mac book.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
She would stop stressing over her assignments getting lost. I'm
very proud of Mom. She has given up a lot
of her time to study and work whilst also caring
for us at home.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
I'm really happy for Mommy to be amen.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Why is Mom the best mum in the world.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Because she always makes me laugh, She always does her
best in everything, and she makes me happy when I'm
feeling sad. I wanted to say to Mom that I
love her so much and I don't tell her enough.
How proud I am of her everything she done for
our family. She's a real supermum to be able to
work full time, study and look after us all.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Don't you damn crying. I'm going to thank you, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I think a lot of us can probably relate to
us not telling our mums enough. How much we must
be nice to hear.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It is very nice to hear one of them mentioned
in this laptop and tell us a little bit about
what happened.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
When I first started studying. Obviously, a laptop is a requirement.
We just didn't have the spare funds for me to
get a laptop. So my dad stepped in and ever
so kindly brought me a second hand laptop. You know,
without I didn't even ask him. I just was one
day having conversation with him about studying and needing a laptop,
and yeah, so he bought me this second hand laptop.
(04:47):
And the joke in my nursing class is it's nicknamed
the dinosaur. It is quite an old laptop.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
But I think it was going to get the job.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It was and know, I was confident. I was like, yeah,
it's gonna it's gonna last. But unfortunately, the other night,
I was sitting there finishing my eight case studies that
I had to do, and yeah, it just died, the
black screen of death. And you know, we tried to
charge it, we tried to do everything, but unfortunately it's yeah,
it's gone and that's it. So and along with it
(05:20):
went my last twelve months of study. Because Sillimi didn't
think to save it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
In what she wrote to us, you said, I'm so
ashamed that at my age I couldn't afford to purchase
a new one, and that my dad still needed to
help me. We're not going back to dad. We need
to get this laptop sorted, don't we. We do, well, Nicole,
if it's all right, you can stick around. We might
have someone that might be able to help you out next.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh my god, guys, that will be so amazing.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Okay, well, I said they might. Just come on, we'll see, we'll.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Crossed.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Nicole is with us. She is an incredibly busy working
mum of four. Two years ago, her beautiful husband Moras,
suffered a massive heart attack, and in that moment, she
and all the rest of the family decided, this is
the time that we should be going for her dreams
and it is never too late. So Nichole's dream is
to become a nurse. Now, everything was going well until
(06:14):
the laptop that your dad bought for you crashed and died,
and so now you don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's right, Yeah, just running Windows two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It was running.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
It was the most advanced program.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I'm all right, Well, The good news is listening to
all of this has been a very good mate of
us here at Mixed one or two point three. His
name is Rob, but we always call him Rob from
one eight hundred got junk?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Good Rob, Good?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Guys, what are you just ringing up? Because you know
you guys, take anything there. You're going to take her laptop.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You look laptop.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
We can certainly help with the listening to the story
just this morning. It resonates with me on so many levels.
I certainly have they are now never moment myself when
I turned forty and and I bought a tunk business
to be funny. And also you know, we've just as
a family spent a feeble of time around the hospitals
and the emergency departments and working with the nurses and
(07:09):
so on, and without these awesome people, we are in
massive trouble. So we had a bit of a chatter
around around the table the last five or ten minutes,
and we'd love to come to the party and grab
a new laptop for Nicole. You know, we we think
what she's doing is super super special, not only for
our family and what she's doing for herself, but also
for the community, for all of us.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh, Rob, I can tell you when you said, well
your sort of laptop, that just you just took a
big deep breath in then, didn't you, Nicole?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I did? I did.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I can't even find the words to thank you enough.
And yeah, from once in my life, I'm speechless.
Speaker 9 (07:43):
We'd really love to help out to see how understaffed
hospitals are and to see someone wanting to come through
and help that situation and essentially help all of us,
you know, like, well, you're a very special person.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Thank you so.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Much, and as are you Roll. We love you and
the entire team. You get them over that table anytime
you can, if you're listening, you always come to the
party to help out. So look if there's any way
that you can help Rob, who's such a brilliant supporter
of our community.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
One eight hundred got junk Rob. Thank you so much, Buddy.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Low Rose all we love to hook.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The laptop's good. The laptop was needed, We needed the laptop.
We are so happy we could help you with that. Nicole.
But you are doing more than just work. You are
looking after a family, looking after yourself, trying to look
after all of us by studying to become a nurse.
Hopefully we never need you, but we just think that
maybe there's a little bit more that we could assist with.
(08:38):
Don't you reckon Allie?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, I pretty much was on the phones NonStop the
last twenty four to forty eight hours. So stick around
because I've got some things I've organized for you and
the rest of your family.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
All right, thanks, guys.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
In the studio with us, we have Nicole. Nichole is
the mother of four. She is an inspiration to hopefully
a lot of you that have been listening of late.
It is a very relatable story for a lot of
people around Adelaide. At the moment, she's doing what she
can to achieve her dreams and inspire her children. Mother
of four, her husband had a heart attack a year
(09:11):
ago and well now she's decided, as well as working
and trying to keep the family afloat like that, we're
also going to study become nurse by the end of
this year.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Nicole. That's the dream, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yeah, at the end of this year. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Wow. So unfortunately Nicole, in amongst all of that, had
a laptop die on her. So thanks to Rob from
one eight hundred got junk, we set Nicole up with
a laptop. We've ticked that.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Off, okay, but we can't just leave you with lot that.
When we heard from your daughters a little bit earlier,
one of them had this to say, what.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Would you want to spoil mum with that she doesn't
do for herself.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
The holiday where she gets to relax.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
The whole time.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
When's the last time you guys have been on a holiday?
Do you think?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
A few years ago. Yeah, long enough for you to go.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Last weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So we thought that might be the case. So I
put in a phone call to our friends down at
West Beach Park. So they're going to come on board
and give you guys a weekend away because we know
that you're in amongst the study, we know that the
time is really poor. But you guys can get away
to them for an entire weekend and one of their
awesome cabins. It's worth eight hundred and fifty bucks. And
you said in there that you don't have to stress
(10:16):
or do anything. You don't These kids can just take
over the park. They've got jumpy pillows, they even have
gin tastings at times.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
All you have to worry about is when they fall
off their bicks and get stretches on their elbows, which
I think you're going to be to handle.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And then I thought, well, because you're a West Beach Parks,
you know it's just down the road Harbortown. So rang
the team at Harbortown and they want to give you
guys a five hundred.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Dollars shopping boucher.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
You can go and get new school shoes, running shoes,
you can get.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Sheets, whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Just treat yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
You can go there and treat yourself.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, the kids will be fine. Spend it on yourself,
absolutely fine.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So we have to give a massive thanks to the
team out there because they're Essay's largest premium outlet shopping destination,
over one hundred and twenty stores. You're gonna be able
to go and check out.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Oh my god, maybe I'll leave the kids at the Yeah,
Morrison and I'll agree.
Speaker 2 (11:08):

you've come to that, and for everybody else. They're open
a long weekend to Easter Saturday and all the way
through to Easter Monday. So thank you so much to Harbortown.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Also, why don't you go and pampy yourself. Because Ali,
in her hurricane of calling every single business and had
yesterday spoke to Clip Joint hair salon. They've come on board.
They're going to give you a color and they're going
to spoil you at one of their awesome salons in
three locations, Burnside, Rundle Street and Melbourne Street.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Oh my god, I've gotten the last time that have
actually been and had my haircut or you know, Unfortunately,
in the sacrifice of those sorts of things, you know,
we just didn't have the money she'd be able for
me to go do that. So I was doing that
at home, the at home hair dye.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Jobs, and Darlasa didn't want to say anything. But it
takes one to know one me too, but I know
like that is.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
The first thing that goes.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Never if you have any amount of time or money,
it is never going on yourself. He goes to the kids,
to your family. I rang Nicole. I met her at
the tennis and she gave me a card.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Big mistake, Nicole said, Big mistake had.

look after you and they do such a beautiful job.

That is so amazing. Guys, I can't thank you enough.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Stop at, Nicole, because we're not done yet. So while
you're looking good, you may as well feel good. So
you know, as a nurse, you're on your feet all day, right,
you're walking around shoes. You gotta have some good shoes
and you're on your feet.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You can't possibly say this without sounding like he doesn't
know what he's talking about. Because these are the most
comfortable shoes and I wear them all the time.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
They're Franky four shoes.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
They are done by podiatrists and they have decided to
give you, guys a five hundred dollars about you or
you So once you get into nursing, you can go
and get yourself the most comfortable treads around.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
They'll fit them, they'll do all that.

You've got it. It's their gorgeous shoes too, so they're
not just the ones that you got to wear to work.

a superwoman like you.

very proud of you.

Morris went through that heart attack and gave you, guys

that actually said, yeah, you know what, I need a
little bit of help. Here is Nicole and she's with

charge it, we tried to do everything, but unfortunately it's yeah,
it's gone and that's it. So and along with it
(05:20):
went my last twelve months of study. Because Sillimi didn't
think to save it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
In what she wrote to us, you said, I'm so
ashamed that at my age I couldn't afford to purchase
a new one, and that my dad still needed to
help me. We're not going back to dad. We need
to get this laptop sorted, don't we. We do, well, Nicole,
if it's all right, you can stick around. We might
have someone that might be able to help you out next.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh my god, guys, that will be so amazing.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Okay, well, I said they might. Just come on, we'll see, we'll.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Crossed.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Nicole is with us. She is an incredibly busy working
mum of four. Two years ago, her beautiful husband Moras,
suffered a massive heart attack, and in that moment, she
and all the rest of the family decided, this is
the time that we should be going for her dreams
and it is never too late. So Nichole's dream is
to become a nurse. Now, everything was going well until
(06:14):
the laptop that your dad bought for you crashed and died,
and so now you don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's right, Yeah, just running Windows two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It was running.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
It was the most advanced program.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I'm all right, Well, The good news is listening to
all of this has been a very good mate of
us here at Mixed one or two point three. His
name is Rob, but we always call him Rob from
one eight hundred got junk?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Good Rob, Good?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Guys, what are you just ringing up? Because you know
you guys, take anything there. You're going to take her laptop.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You look laptop.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
We can certainly help with the listening to the story
just this morning. It resonates with me on so many levels.
I certainly have they are now never moment myself when
I turned forty and and I bought a tunk business
to be funny. And also you know, we've just as
a family spent a feeble of time around the hospitals
and the emergency departments and working with the nurses and
(07:09):
so on, and without these awesome people, we are in
massive trouble. So we had a bit of a chatter
around around the table the last five or ten minutes,
and we'd love to come to the party and grab
a new laptop for Nicole. You know, we we think
what she's doing is super super special, not only for
our family and what she's doing for herself, but also
for the community, for all of us.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh, Rob, I can tell you when you said, well
your sort of laptop, that just you just took a
big deep breath in then, didn't you, Nicole?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I did? I did.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I can't even find the words to thank you enough.
And yeah, from once in my life, I'm speechless.
Speaker 9 (07:43):
We'd really love to help out to see how understaffed
hospitals are and to see someone wanting to come through
and help that situation and essentially help all of us,
you know, like, well, you're a very special person.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Thank you so.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Much, and as are you Roll. We love you and
the entire team. You get them over that table anytime
you can, if you're listening, you always come to the
party to help out. So look if there's any way
that you can help Rob, who's such a brilliant supporter
of our community.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
One eight hundred got junk Rob. Thank you so much, Buddy.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Low Rose all we love to hook.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The laptop's good. The laptop was needed, We needed the laptop.
We are so happy we could help you with that. Nicole.
But you are doing more than just work. You are
looking after a family, looking after yourself, trying to look
after all of us by studying to become a nurse.
Hopefully we never need you, but we just think that
maybe there's a little bit more that we could assist with.
(08:38):
Don't you reckon Allie?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, I pretty much was on the phones NonStop the
last twenty four to forty eight hours. So stick around
because I've got some things I've organized for you and
the rest of your family.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
All right, thanks, guys.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
In the studio with us, we have Nicole. Nichole is
the mother of four. She is an inspiration to hopefully
a lot of you that have been listening of late.
It is a very relatable story for a lot of
people around Adelaide. At the moment, she's doing what she
can to achieve her dreams and inspire her children. Mother
of four, her husband had a heart attack a year
(09:11):
ago and well now she's decided, as well as working
and trying to keep the family afloat like that, we're
also going to study become nurse by the end of
this year.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Nicole. That's the dream, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yeah, at the end of this year. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Wow. So unfortunately Nicole, in amongst all of that, had
a laptop die on her. So thanks to Rob from
one eight hundred got junk, we set Nicole up with
a laptop. We've ticked that.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Off, okay, but we can't just leave you with lot that.
When we heard from your daughters a little bit earlier,
one of them had this to say, what.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Would you want to spoil mum with that she doesn't
do for herself.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
The holiday where she gets to relax.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
The whole time.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
When's the last time you guys have been on a holiday?
Do you think?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
A few years ago. Yeah, long enough for you to go.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Last weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So we thought that might be the case. So I
put in a phone call to our friends down at
West Beach Park. So they're going to come on board
and give you guys a weekend away because we know
that you're in amongst the study, we know that the
time is really poor. But you guys can get away
to them for an entire weekend and one of their
awesome cabins. It's worth eight hundred and fifty bucks. And
you said in there that you don't have to stress
(10:16):
or do anything. You don't These kids can just take
over the park. They've got jumpy pillows, they even have
gin tastings at times.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
All you have to worry about is when they fall
off their bicks and get stretches on their elbows, which
I think you're going to be to handle.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And then I thought, well, because you're a West Beach Parks,
you know it's just down the road Harbortown. So rang
the team at Harbortown and they want to give you
guys a five hundred.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Dollars shopping boucher.

yesterday spoke to Clip Joint hair salon. They've come on board.

actually been and had my haircut or you know, Unfortunately,
in the sacrifice of those sorts of things, you know,
we just didn't have the money she'd be able for
me to go do that. So I was doing that
at home, the at home hair dye.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Jobs, and Darlasa didn't want to say anything. But it
takes one to know one me too, but I know
like that is.

you're walking around shoes. You gotta have some good shoes
and you're on your feet.

know what he's talking about. Because these are the most
comfortable shoes and I wear them all the time.

They're Franky four shoes.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
