Shanica Fortuin, \u2019n 18-jarige inwoner van Robertson, veg dapper teen pulmon\u00eare arteri\u00eble hipertensie. Ten spyte van die uitdagings wat haar toestand meebring, bly Shanica se onwrikbare gees en haar hegte band met haar ma bronne van krag en inspirasie. <\/p>\n
Shanica, \u2019n liefdevolle en ywerige jong meisie, droom daarvan om \u2019n maatskaplike werker te word om ander te help. Om hierdie droom na te jaag, het sy van kleins af gedroom om \u2019n skootrekenaar te h\u00ea waarmee sy haar studies en navorsing kan voortsit.<\/p>\n
Die Reach for a Dream-stigting is daartoe verbind om drome vir kinders soos Shanica, wat teen lewensbedreigende siektes baklei, waar te maak. Hulle het \u2019n dag vol verrassings en vreugde vir haar gere\u00ebl, wat alle verwagtinge oortref het. Op \u2019n dag wat beide haar droomvervulling en haar verjaardag gekenmerk het, het Shanica \u2019n buitengewone ervaring beleef wat reg by haar voordeur begin het.<\/p>\n
Die hoogtepunt van Shanica se Droomdag was \u2019n onverwagte besoek van DJ Ngamla, wat Shanica en haar ma, Christina, persoonlik in \u2019n glansryke swart Mercedes-Benz na Bourbon Restaurant vervoer het. Die vreugde was tasbaar toe Shanica en haar ma, wat per toeval identies aangetrek was, besef dat DJ Ngamla ook by hul uitrustings pas, wat \u2019n tikkie humor by hul spesiale dag gevoeg het.<\/p>\n
By Bourbon Restaurant, \u2019n plek wat Shanica en Christina lank bewonder het, het die personeel hul uiterste bes gedoen om \u2019n onvergeetlike eet-ervaring te skep. Die atmosfeer was gevul met vreugde en viering, kompleet met \u2019n verrassingsverjaardagkoek en ballonne, wat Shanica werklik spesiaal en gekoester laat voel het.<\/p>\n
Die mees emosionele oomblik van die dag het aangebreek toe Shanica haar droom-skootrekenaar ontvang het. <\/p>\n
Shanica is oorweldig deur dankbaarheid, en haar reaksie \u2013 \u2019n mengsel van trane en glimlagte \u2013 het die diep uitwerking van die vervulling van haar lank gekoesterde droom beklemtoon. Hierdie geskenk dien nie net as \u2019n hulpmiddel vir haar toekomstige loopbaan nie, maar ook as \u2019n simbool van hoop en ondersteuning van die gemeenskap om haar.<\/p>\n
Die Reach for a Dream-stigting bedank veral DJ Ngamla en Bourbon Restaurant vir hul beduidende rolle in die sukses van Shanica se droomdag. Hul bydraes het gehelp om hierdie geleentheid in \u2019n hartroerende viering van veerkragtigheid, liefde en die krag van drome om te skep.<\/p>\n
Hierdie droomdag het nie net Shanica se wense waar gemaak nie, maar ook die stigting se missie versterk om kinders wat lewensbedreigende siektes in die gesig staar, van oomblikke van vreugde en motivering te voorsien. <\/p>\n
Dit is \u2019n aangrypende herinnering aan die vreugde wat kom wanneer gekoesterde drome waar gemaak word.<\/p>\n
Die Reach for a Dream-stigting raak die lewe van kinders oor Suid-Afrika heen al langer as 36 jaar aan deur drome waar te maak en hulle op avonture te neem wat hulle in die krag van drome laat glo.<\/p>\n
Hierdie ervarings lei kinders weg van hul siekte en bied hulle opwinding en afwagting buite die grense van hospitaalmure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
