❤️ A CALL FOR OUR DANCEWORLD PE FAMILY & COMMUNITY TO HELP ❤️
Sometimes life changes in a matter of moments.
On Wednesday, 5 August, at approximately 16:00, our beloved studio assistant and senior ballerina, and a dear friend of Miss. Val for many years, Miceala van Rhyn, and her loved ones lost their home in a devastating electrical fire 😭😭
Within minutes, everything they had worked so hard to build was gone. Their home, Miceala's home-based beauty salon, treasured belongings, clothing, furniture and so many precious memories were lost. Even their vehicle sustained damage.
As a dance family, we have also felt the impact of this tragedy. A number of our dance festival costumes that Miceala had been lovingly altering and preparing for next week's festival were destroyed in the fire. While we are working around the clock to find solutions for our dancers, our greatest concern right now is Miceala and her family.
Today, we are asking our DanceWorld PE family and the wider Gqeberha community to help if you are able.
Whether it is a bag of groceries, a warm blanket, a pair of work shoes, furniture that is no longer being used, kitchen appliances, pet food, or even simply sharing this post, every act of kindness will make a difference.
No donation is too small.
Please have a look at the poster below for the family's current urgent needs and clothing sizes.
Donations may be dropped off at either of our DanceWorld PE class venues, or you are welcome to contact us directly:
📱 WhatsApp: 073 961 7786
📧 Email: [email protected]
If you are unable to donate, we completely understand. We kindly ask that you keep Miceala, her boyfriend and their families in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Thank you for helping us remind them that even after the darkest of days, they are not alone ❤️
