Puppy Love

By Sun International | 11 August 2009

Due to the overwhelming support of the Sandton City shoppers; who opened their hearts and dug deep into their pockets this Christmas by supporting Sandton City’s charity gift wrapping service and having their photographs taken with Santa; a phenomenal amount of R118 785.85 was raised for the Reach For A Dream Foundation.

A potion of these proceeds together with 3 national beauties; Tatum Keshwar, Miss SA 2008, Tansey Coetzee, Miss SA 2007 and Megan Coleman, Miss SA 2006 enabled Reach For A Dream to fulfil the dream of a very special little girl, Livia, who is 4 years old and has always dreamed of having her own puppy. Reach For A Dream threw a Strawberry Shortcake Party for Livia and her friends and just when she thought the day couldn’t get any better Livia was presented with her new best friend, Sophie!

“Thank you so much again for making my little girl so happy, giving her something else to fight for and making her feel so needed and loved!” said Annamarie Wagner, Livia’s mother.
