Pregnant And Abandoned: A Woman’s Life Takes A Life-Changing Turn After A Package Is Left In Her Oven

Have you ever had a bad moment in your life or an event that changed the course of everything you had planned? Everyone has had bad experiences, but unfortunately, some of us go through the unimaginable at the worst of times. Amanda was speechless when she saw three men walk around her messy kitchen. In such little time, so much had happened. 

John and Amanda had a seemingly perfect life. They had recently bought a house that took two years to renovate. John had a well-paying job, and Amanda was an avid home keeper with fabulous DIY and gardening skills. As a result, their house was always spotless and decorated beautifully.  

The couple had fertility issues but were resilient and never stopped trying. For three long years they tried to no avail but they knew they were destined to have a child that would complete their home and fill their hearts! 

With everything going according to plan, Amanda was confident that her family life would improve. Naturally, having difficulty getting pregnant was not easy for either of them. She knew her husband also wanted a baby as much as she did. And even though they didn’t have the easiest time over the last few years, it would be well worth the wait. 

It’s a great betrayal when someone makes you believe everything is going well, only to pull the rug under you at the last minute. John was an exemplary husband, he was caring and loving, and he never showed discontent toward Amanda. But one day, he left without explanation. 

John left with little explanation—something Amanda would’ve never expected from the loving man she had married four years prior. With the advancing pregnancy, everything was happening so fast. He simply packed up his belongings and closed the door behind him, unwilling to clarify the motivations behind his actions.  

There was no way for Amanda to know that the man she loved would up and leave her and their soon-to-be-born child. Her pain was unimaginable. And she had real concerns that she had to confront- and fast!

The couple had invested their earnings in their dream house. They had hired construction workers, chosen wallpapers, and picked colors. They aspired for a future together. So how could it be that the man of her life was abandoning her at the peak of their wait? Within only a few more weeks, they would welcome a newborn baby. 

But sitting in despair wouldn’t bring him back. Her next steps would decide the outcome of her immediate future. All she could think about was how she could’ve tried harder—she racked her memory for a reason—anything—to explain what was happening.

After pulling herself together, Amanda dialed a familiar number, holding back her tears. She didn’t want her best friend Anna to realize things were worse than they seemed—even if they were. As Anna walked up to the front door, she noticed that the front garden, where beautiful flowers usually grew, had entirely withered.

Amanda was known in her group of friends as being the one that was ready for anything. Her makeup was always on point, and her hair was never messy. Her clothes were ironed and always smelled nice. So it was a surprise when Anna looked at her friend this time. What happened?

As expected, Amanda burst into tears. As her dear friend held her, she tried explaining what had happened, but the sobs made her words incomprehensible. Until she finally calmed down and could recapitulate the past few days’ events. It was terrible.

Anna promised not to leave Amanda unattended, and she helped her dear friend keep up on her feet. However, Amanda’s depression was severe, and it was challenging to cope with the void John had left behind. It was all so unfair. 

Anna went to great lengths to support her dear friend. Like anyone that genuinely cares, she made sure Amanda had everything she needed—from cooking her favorite meals to encouraging her to shower. She painted her nails and combed her hair while Amanda lay in bed, unable to cope with the harsh realities of life. 

Anna reached out for help, and within a matter of days, her plan was on track. Now she only had to convince Amanda to get out of bed and come with her. Although gloomily, Amanda complied. She got into the shower and left the house for the first time in weeks.

Anna didn’t betray her friend, but Amanda had no way of knowing that. She was incapable of doing any harm to anyone. What she had done, though, was get the ball rolling on changing Amanda’s life forever.

It was possible that Amanda didn’t know how badly she really needed to talk about her experience. Obviously, she had felt so hopeless that nothing seemed like it would make her feel better. While she was appreciative of her friend Anna before, she knew this was something she would forever be grateful for.

All of a sudden, Amanda was opening up to a group of strangers about her situation. It was strange how things were developing, and she still didn’t understand what was happening. They asked her some questions about her life, but everything was vague until they asked her to look at the monitor behind her.

It all felt like a bad dream; she lost all trust in her dear friend in a matter of seconds. A hundred questions popped into Amanda’s head. Was this one of those distasteful prank shows? Was John behind all of this? Hadn’t he done enough harm already?

Seeing her unkempt home on the monitor broke her heart. For a brief moment, she questioned Anna’s intentions as well! After all, John leaving left Amazing with some understandable trust issues.

Meanwhile, on the monitor, the men continued to walk into the house; they walked past the living room, where piles of boxes and trash bags were scattered about. They had been like that for a few weeks now since John left. He had promised to help Amanda arrange the things from their previous apartment together.

As she watched the group of people roam her home, her sobs decreased; she was still in shock and unsure of what she was seeing. Her kitchen was so dirty. She felt so self-conscious about the state of her house, knowing that this was all being transmitted to millions of strangers. 

Amanda realized she was silly to ever think her kind friend would do anything to hurt her. As soon as she saw what was left in the oven she burst into happy tears!

Inside the oven, there was a massive bundle of cash. At that moment, she realized she wasn’t on a prank show. She immediately looked at Anna, who had a gigantic smile. She didn’t betray her after all. If anything, she had been an even better friend. 

Anna figured out she needed support to help her friend, so she wrote to her favorite show, the KIIS 1065, where their most beloved segment was “Give Back.” People loved the wholesomeness of the presenters Jackie O and Kyle always treated their guests. The show had been cherished by the community for many years.  

Amanda and Anna were mysteriously welcomed into the studio. Up to now, Amanda was just shocked; a million things were going through her head, and it was all so confusing. Events were starting to unfold in the most unsuspecting manner. It was only now that Amanda realized she was a guest for the “Give Back” segment of her local radio.

Amanda finally told her side of the story to the world. She explained to the hosts the events from the beautiful beginnings of her relationship with John, their mutual aspirations, difficulty conceiving, the excitement of buying a house, the renovations, and eventually, their downfall.

She continued explaining her situation. She painted a picture familiar to many other women who constantly have to go through separations during their pregnancy or in the early stages of their child’s infancy, leaving them as single mothers, and the difficulty this means.

When Amanda finished telling her story, Jackie O and Kyle told her she wouldn’t have to worry. They figured out that by spreading the word, they could find support for Amanda’s dreadful situation. That is what community is about. So they approached businesses in the area that could help in some way or another.

The result was unprecedented. Even the hosts were shocked, they thought they would be able to get Amanda a little relief, but in reality, they did much more. Middlesex Academy of Learning, a recognized institution in town, donated $10,000 for her mortgage. 

Although Amanda was already shedding happy tears, there were more surprises to come. The hosts indicated the monitor, where she had previously seen the strangers in her house. She wasn’t expecting what she saw. A brand-new vacuum cleaner, provided by Scrubb Online Cleaning Services, was sitting in her corridor.

After weeks of heavy depression, Amanda was finally able to breathe; her beautiful smile came back adorned by sobs of joy, and she couldn’t contain herself from the tide of emotions. She wondered if she was having some kind of crazy dream.

While no one could take away the pain she felt when her husband abandoned her, these wonderful gifts and surprises certainly put the smile back on her face and gave her some hope that there would be light at the end fo the tunnel.

The camera continued through Amanda’s house and stopped in front of the fridge, when they opened it she couldn’t believe her eyes. The refrigerator was fully stocked with wonderfully prepared meals. Nutrition is one of the most important factors of pregnancy and Amanda had barely eaten since her former husband abandoned her.

The blessings were already unbelievable, but that wasn’t the end. As the house tour continued, the camera moved to the living room, and there was an impressive treasure. A table completely covered with baby gear worth $4,000!

Depression can make people feel like there is nobody out there, that there is no hope. But that is not true, and someone is always willing to listen. It’s crucial to always reach out to caring people that will accept you as you are. Anna was that friend; she heard and went out and beyond to help Amanda. 

Amanda thanked everyone at the radio station and hugged her friend Anna tenderly. It was a miracle, but many people worked hard to turn this miracle into a reality. After everything she had gone through, she couldn’t have imagined that an entire community would have her back. 

At the start of her pregnancy, there was only hope and happiness, but this was stripped away by the vanishing of her husband. Five weeks had come and gone, and she had gone through the worst time of her life. But that was about to change.

Finally, Amanda felt that there was hope for her at last. The past five weeks had been absolute misery but the kindness from her friend, strangers, and these wonderful radio hosts had just given her the boost she needed.

The Kyle and Jackie O show is a highly renowned Australian radio program. It has been Sydney’s best-rated breakfast show for the past four years and has won many radio awards. Their lighthearted program has entertained Australian families for seventeen years running. 

The Kyle and Jackie O Show features many regular segments that give back to the community in other ways. Besides the “Give back” segment, they also have a $10,000 Pop Quiz, where people call the show and have to answer ten questions. With every correct answer, they get $1,000. If they get all of them right, they get $10,000. What a sweet deal!

The duo has a reputation for calling out to the community when someone is in need. The segment “Give back” is one of the most beloved by listeners. That’s why Anna was confident her plan would work. After listening to Amanda’s story, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O knew they had to do something. 

The comments in the original social media posts are overwhelmingly filled with good wishes to Amanda and her soon-to-be-baby. During the original transmission, many people called the station to personally praise the hosts for their good deeds.  

The video was a success, and it encouraged a lot of people to go out there and help someone in their community. Some people shared their success stories and other positive views on similar situations. Others praised Jackie O and Kyle for their good deeds.

But not all of the comments were positive. Some of them questioned John’s actions, and with good reason. We also wonder what was going through Amanda’s ex-husband’s mind when he decided he would completely abandon the plans he had carefully crafted alongside his wife. 

Naturally, when any story is shared on the internet, there is commentary from both sides. Some people just can’t stand to see others happy!

In this fast-paced world that we live in, it’s easy to forget that other people around us are going through rough times as well.  We are all a little bit broken inside, we’ve all gone through less-than-pleasant experiences, and we’ve all needed a shoulder to cry on.

Amanda wouldn’t welcome her baby as she originally intended, and she was aware that many challenges would come in this upcoming venture of motherhood. Still, she also felt a huge relief when she was made aware that friends really were angels in disguise.

A real friend isn’t necessarily the one who invites you to dinner parties and goes shopping with you. A real friend is someone who is there for you when things get rough—when it seems like the whole world has turned its back on you. That’s when real friends shine through.

Without Kyle and Jackie O’s call to the community, who knows what Amanda’s situation would be now? But thankfully, they understood that a community is where we can take action to make the world a better place, one where we can all be a little kinder and a little more giving. 

Kyle and Jackie O’s “Give Back” segment has undoubtedly changed the lives of people who come onto the show, much like Amanda. It’s a miracle that people such as Kyle and Jackie O opened up their hearts and generosity to Maddie, whose story is unbelievably devastating. 

Ashley, a neighbor of Maddie and her husband’s, called into the show, sharing the harrowing and shocking story of the details that happened as the couple was driving on a road. 

Ashley revealed on the show that days before the freak accident, Maddie found out she was three days pregnant. She also shared that what they think might have happened is that the cars were too close to the center line, which is what caused the accident. 

When Maddie comes on the phone, Kyle and Jackie O greet her and ask how her husband is doing. Maddie says he is “confused” and that “he can speak, but he’s not oriented to anything.”

Due to Maddie’s partner’s severe health condition and the uncertainty of the situation (and that she would be having a baby), Kyle and Jackie O surprised her with an incredibly generous gift. 

Jackie O shared that the foundation offered to give $15,000 to Maddie and her family to assist with medical bills or anything else that they might need. 

No matter what anybody is going through, it’s important to remember that there is always a light at the end of even the darkest tunnels. It could seem like everything has fallen apart and there’s no hope that things will get better, but sometimes, they can. 

Here’s another example of a “Give Back” segment from Kyle and Jackie O’s show. They have made instrumental differences in the lives of many whose unfortunate and unexpected situations led them to come on the show. 

The woman, Kaitlin, shares her horrifying and upsetting story that was simply an accident, but turned into much more in terms of damage and loss. One morning, Kaitlin was cooking breakfast, and in a matter of seconds, the pan started to catch on fire. 

Panicking, Kaitlin ran out into the apartment building’s hallway trying to locate a fire extinguisher or blanket to stop the fire. There was nothing around, and sadly, it had already spread. The fire department told her she should have put a blanket over it, but that didn’t help the Kaitlin’s anxious state. 

Heartbreakingly, Kaitlin has two children who also lost everything. Even worse than is that she had was in the process of paying off the furniture, on top of raising two kids without her partner around. Going through something so traumatic and difficult alone isn’t an easy feat. 

The producers of Kyle and Jackie O’s show told Kaitlin that she would come in, share her story, and take the day off. That same day, Kaitlin wanted to go to the Easter Show with her kids and give them something fun to look forward to. 

Responding to Kaitlin’s gratefulness and tears, Kyle said something really wonderful. He said, “We can’t have people who are already struggling, struggle any further. I just don’t think it’s nice.” 

Kaitlin’s story is yet another example of when things happen in life that we don’t expect and we have to figure out how to move forward. Being on Kyle and Jackie O’s show gave her the life-changing opportunity to buy brand new furniture and have some kind of fresh start. 

Most of the folks who appear on Kyle and Jackie O’s show have recently experienced something harrowing and devastating. The show gives them a special platform to share their experience and story. It certainly gives people hope in the face of adversity. 

In 2017, Georgia revealed to Kyle and Jackie O that her husband had been dealing with terminal cancer. As a way to brighten both of their worlds, the show generously gifted them with a honeymoon to see the northern lights. 

A few years after Georgia had come on the show, Kyle and Jackie O decided to check in on Georgia in November, 2020 to see how she was holding up. Of course, that was during the pandemic when things were extra tough for everybody. 

Candidly, Georgia shared that she was aiding her bed-ridden husband for nine months. While he was mostly in bed during this time, he did have a wheelchair to get around. She said, “We had dates in the lounge room.”

The honeymoon was already an impressive and unforgettable experience for Georgia, but that was just the start. She and her friends were treated by Kyle and Jackie O to a special getaway weekend full of relaxation, adventure, and fun. 

Thanks to Kyle and Jackie O’s thoughtfulness, they lifted Georgia’s spirits and gave her such wonderful memories to look back on and cherish forever.
