Fundraiser for Layla

I came across this information on this beautiful little girl and how Spotlight productions are trying to raise money for her surgeries and I had to share with as many people as I could so that hopefully some of you would try and support a good cause.




Spotlight Productions is a non-profit theatre company that was started by two ladies who both have full time careers but their mutual love for the theatre and performing lead them to open this company that can help raise funds for various charities by producing and performing shows.

Layla was born with Hemi Facial Microsomia. This means that one side of her skull did not develop properly. This is not something that Layla's mom did through her pregnancy or any hereditary condition - during her 7th week of growth some of the cells split and one group developed faster than the other.

Layla also has no hearing on her left side and currently needs a new type of hearing aid devise which will cost between R26 000 to R45 0000!!
On top of this Layla still needs to undergo the following procedures;

* jaw bone - this needs to be repeated 3 more times
* remove and replace fatty tissue
 * ear reconstructions - another 3 to 5 operations
* BAHA transmitter ( new type of hearing aid devise above) to be implanted

The show is running from the 18th - 21st July and tickets are only R80.
Please see details above on how to get tickets through Kirsten on 0794292898
