Xmas Shoebox Drive 2023

Following last year's highly successful Xmas shoebox drive where we helped over 60 babies, children, parents and seniors get a useful gift for Xmas, thanks to your generous donations, I am coming to you again to ask for help, not just for Xmas hampers.

This year I am creating an additional survival fund to help people cope with the stress of December, whether it is to help someone with their rent or groceries and electricity to getting someone's cell phone fixed so that they can communicate with their loved ones and do business again.

We cannot help everyone but we can at least try to make a difference with what we have. Any donation is welcome, whether a R20, R50 or R100. Every bit helps and adds up. Below are the banking details for your donations.

What a phenomenal moment seeing a teenager blossom into a elegant woman with the same kind heart over the years.

We really enjoyed working with her Mom and family on her special day.

To see a bride so genuinely happy on her special day really warms my heart. It's beautiful moments like these which makes doing wedding make-up all the more worth it.

Do not underestimate that smile. She may have a soft heart but she is a warrior and is as hard as rock on the outside.

I looked behind the doorways of your eyes and still found that same sense of mystery.

What makes a woman playfully provocative? Is it the look in her eye or the mystery she holds inside? It is both and more.
