Then Amber tells the story of "holding your wee for a Wii". Jennifer Strange was the mother of 3. In 2007, the Nintendo Wii was the item of the year, but hard to come by. So Jennifer entered into a radio contest to win the console for her kids. It was a contest that would change the lives of everyone who loved Jennifer.
