Speaker 1 (00:00):
Believe in the magic of the holidays. Dave Royan's Christmas Wish.
With Christmas Wish, a lot of the time we get
people who have been listening to KTWB since they were
little kids, and I think that is the case with
Johnny this morning. Good morning, Johnny, good morning. Have you
been listening to KWB for a long time?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yes, probably twenty two something years.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You used to did you used to call in and
request Backstreet Boys or make phone calls to Tony Fly
at night? No?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
No, no more of the radio the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Okay, Well, I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad you're
doing a Christmas wish. This is a very as a
tragic situation and we want to help someone out. Who
is the wish for Johnny?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So the wishes for the family of one of our
church mates. Their names that the ones that pass away
is uh sing Her and Lee tao Oka. Currently they
passway in and that September and leaving six it's behind
six kids.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Now. When I heard about this and the Johnny and
I talked on the phone a week or so ago,
and when I heard that there were six kids that
all of a sudden boom in a flash were left
without parents and these kids are from ages eighteen right
down to nine, and you just can't even imagine. So
we wanted to bring some love and cheer and assistance
(01:21):
and help and support to this family. Let's call who
is the person that we are calling.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So we are going to be calling ying Chie this morning.
I had to make sure that he kind of knows,
but I just had to make sure that he's home.
And yeah, not of co worried about people knocking off
the door shure.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, well, speaking of knocking on the door, Brandon from
College Muscle Movers, did you have trouble getting to the
house because of the weather today? Brandon?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
All bit, Yeah, did you make it?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Are you still on the road?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I was still on the road right now.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, we'll take a time. Be safe. You guys have
done such a great job. College Muscle Movers delivers every
single wish and this is no exception. This one will
just be a little bit later. And by the way,
just to let you know, College Muscle Movers always gives
you fifteen free muscle boxes and an on time guarantee
with every move. Please hold Brandon, drive carefully and we
(02:15):
will let you know what's going on. Let's call Yenhi
right now here we go. So, Yenji, is he kind
of the one that's had to take care of the
siblings so far?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Is the oldest at eighteen? Yeah? So currently this year
he was supposed to start college. But after the parents pass,
knowing the mom and dad and just the monk heritage,
they want the older kids to take over at eighteen.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah. Hello, is this Yenchi?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, this is yen Chi.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Hey, yen She. It's Dave Ryan on the radio over
at KDWB. I'm here with your friend Johnny. And you
may or may not know a little bit about what
I'm calling or but this is something that we do
every year called the Christmas Wish. And we've heard about
your family's just tragic situation and the struggles that you're facing.
And Johnny wrote in and told us a little bit
(03:12):
about what's going on and what you are facing at
the age of eighteen years old. Have you got a minute,
Yenhi that he can read this letter that he wrote
for us to you.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Uh yeah, sure, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, Johnny, whenever you're ready, all right, all right, good
morning everybody. This year I wanted to nominate some church
members for they lost both the parents in a terrible
car accident in a different state while on the way
back home. They were such wonderful parents and great members
of our church along with the community. They were so
(03:48):
loved by many and will forever be missed. However, with
this tragic in a sudden accident, then left behind six
children between the ages of nine years old and eighteen
years old, four boys and two girls. This year was
supposed to be the start of the oldest son's college. However,
with this accident, he has changed his schedule to help
(04:10):
his younger siblings. He has taken on the role of
being the guardian for all the younger siblings, having to
follow many different documents to keep the siblings together. With
this incident, I was hoping KATYWB would consider and nominate
her kids to their annual Christmas wish lists. Even though
these guests will never replace the loss of their parents,
the community and I hope it will ease and distract
(04:34):
them for a short time during this holiday season. My
wife and I, along with the whole church family, want
to thank KATYWB, along with the sponsors and donors that
have been making things magical during the holiday season for
many families throughout the years. You will never know how
it feels until the tragic accident has knocked on your door.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Happy Holidays to everyone far in the year. Thank you, Johnny,
I'm so sorry. And she about the loss of your parents.
And from what I understand, it was a car accident. Yeah,
just a sudden just a sudden car accident. They're there
one moment and then the next moment they're gone.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, and you know, it happened so quickly that you know,
we didn't have a chance to say goodbye. And then
you know it's their vacation too, so you know, you
know it was their days of you know, resting or
like to not worry about us, or you know, enjoying themselves,
and you know that to it, you know, just almost accidents.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So and I'm so sorry, you just we just can't
have imagine most people listening have never been through something
so shocking as that. And not one parent, but two parents,
and not of you know, like you know, like grown adults,
not that that's any easier, but of little kids. Your
youngest sibling is what nine years old, Yeah, nine years old,
and you're only eighteen, and I know, you think that
(05:58):
that's you know, that is that's mature, you're grown up,
But that's an age where you were ready to go
start college and now everything has kind of been put
on hold and a lot of this has fallen on you, right, yeah,
a lot. How is that going? And I'm not trying
to be funny, but how is that going? With five kids?
It's got to be a handful because you are still
(06:19):
mourning mom and dad at the same time, making school lunches,
driving to doctor's appointments, filling out tons of paperwork. It's
got to be a lot for you. Yang.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, it's it's a very different lifestyle from before because
you know, before I was like very independent, very close self.
So you know, I was like, you know, it's very introverted.
But now but now I had to, you know, help
my five siblings because though two of them are still
in high school, they still need my hope and that,
(06:53):
you know, it just feels very different because it's because
you know, I was there to help support my mom
and dad and help them with their chores and stuff
and especially up my little siblings. But now that they're
not here, that you know, someone has to do it
and to help them, and you know, it's it's very
(07:18):
it's a very different life. And you know, just I
don't I still think I haven't really accepted it yet.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And I think that's very common. I think that there's
a lot of times it's like you haven't quite accepted that,
because that's one of the stages of grief, I believe,
is like you know, you get past acceptance, so there's
like denial and there's like whatever, And how long ago
did they pass.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
They passed away and on September twenty sixth, so and
that was on the day they were supposed to return.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So just not even three not even three months ago.
And now I mean the multiplied by the fact that
here comes Christmas. Yeah, and here's the first Christmas, which
reminds everybody of family. I am so sorry, and everybody
I can speak on behalf of anybody who's listening, and
everybody here at KATWB and everybody from your church, we
are so sorry to hear about this. This is so sorry.
(08:09):
And most of us grew up with our parents, and
most of us still have our parents around, and this
is a whole different challenge for you. But as Johnny
said in his very well written email, He says, even
though these gifts will never replace the loss of their parents,
the community and I hope that will ease and distract
them for a short time during the holiday season. So
that's what Christmas wishes for, is to help ease and
(08:31):
distract during this holiday season. So let's start out with
the little ones. Are any of them up? Are they
at school right now? Yeah? They're at school now at school? Okay, good, Well,
let's cover some of the things and you can, like,
you know, give these to the kids for Christmas, or
you can have them, you know, sitting around the living
room when they get home, whatever you want to do.
Daniel is the youngest. Daniel is nine, right, all right.
(08:52):
We got Daniel a bunch of stuff. We got him
some clothing, we got some shoes, virtual reality set, we
got a hopefully he likes art because we got him

gonna get. We got him Pokemon Surging Strikes, booster box,
and some other Pokemon stuff. Is he into Pokemon?

so that is awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That is awesome. We got him some car heart gloves
and a two hundred dollars Visa gift card. And then
there's you, and there's you know at eighteen years old.
By the way, if you just turned the radio on,
we're talking to an eighteen year old named Yenchi, who's
got five siblings that are all younger than him, and
mom and dad died not even three months ago in
a horrible car accident, and so Yen Shei is in
(11:36):
charge of the family and taking out a lot of
things at an age when you should be finally getting
some independence ye to go out and do your own thing.
And we're so impressed with you. Are you into music?

Yeah? I am.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Okay, we got you a I'm not sure what this is,
but it's a wooting sixty h e plus keyboard. Is
that a? Is that a? Is that a piano? It is? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:58):

hundred dollars Visa gift card and a two hundred dollars
Uber Eats gift card to spend on whatever you want
(12:25):
take out order out for the family, and then we
have some other things that are all for the family.
You can spend this on whatever you want. A seven
hundred dollars Home Depot gift card. But we heard you
might need a new snowblower if you do well. Daniel
is nine. He can shovel snow, but I don't think
(12:46):
maybe he wants to do it well. No, of course not,
of course not, but he might. You know, you can
get this new snowblower seven hundred dollars. You could buy
you a pretty nice snowblower over at Home Depot. One
hundred dollars gas card from Holiday Station Stores. We did
get some cleaning supplies. This is boring stuff, but these
are all things that families need. And we got one
hundred dollars Broadway Pizza gift card for your family. Three
hundred dollars Crisp and Green gift card. And this is
(13:09):
donated from Talia and Alex Lopez and the entire chan
Hassen in Plymouth Crisp and Green team. Three hundred dollars
Cub Foods gift card and Treasure Island has got one
more thing for you. When you can work this in.
We got to help a couple of hotel rooms, either
both on one night or but split it up whatever's
better for the family. Gets you into the Lagoon water Park,
(13:31):
four bowling passes, and two hundred dollars for dining at
the island, And like your friend Johnny says, this does
not replace or make up for anything that you've lost,
but hopefully just gets a little brightness to your holiday.
And I think there's so many people. I know you've
got a lot of support, probably from the church, yes,
(13:51):
and friends and the community, and we love to hear that,
but we are behind you one hundred percent. Yanshi. For
all that you've got ahead of you, you sound like
you're up to it. I think they said somewhere that
God never gives us anything that we can't truly handle,
and I really believe that Sometimes we go I can't
handle this, but somewhere God is going no, no, no,
(14:13):
I don't give you something you can't handle. So Yen,
she bless you and your family for Christmas and have
the best possible Christmas. Even though that sounds impossible. I
hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, thank you guys. It's you know, I just wanted
them to get the things they want. And you know
my list I didn't really put too much because everyone
couldn't really think. So thank you guys, just you know,
making this Christmas a bit more special. You know, I
don't know how to say thanks too much with my gratitude.

grateful and impressed by you at eighteen doing what you
are going to do and what you've got to face ahead. Yen,
she thanks for being on Christmas. Wish there was a

not replace or make up for anything that you've lost,
but hopefully just gets a little brightness to your holiday.
And I think there's so many people. I know you've
got a lot of support, probably from the church, yes,
(13:51):
and friends and the community, and we love to hear that,
but we are behind you one hundred percent. Yanshi. For
all that you've got ahead of you, you sound like
you're up to it. I think they said somewhere that
God never gives us anything that we can't truly handle,
and I really believe that Sometimes we go I can't
handle this, but somewhere God is going no, no, no,
(14:13):
I don't give you something you can't handle. So Yen,
she bless you and your family for Christmas and have
the best possible Christmas. Even though that sounds impossible. I
hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
