At just 14 years old, Yinnelee has faced immense challenges, living with chronic pain and limited mobility. Despite her struggles, she remains resilient and full of hope. However, with government funding for implant surgeries recently halted, her family is left with the overwhelming task of raising the necessary funds themselves.
This is where we, as a community, can step in. For just R20, you can purchase a ticket in a special raffle designed not only to raise funds but also to bring people together in a shared mission of support and kindness. While incredible prizes are up for grabs, the real reward is knowing that each ticket sold brings Yinnelee one step closer to the surgery she desperately needs.
All funds are being collected through WE CARE, ensuring full transparency. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. You’re welcome to contribute to their Back-a-Buddy campaign, which is an incredible platform. However, it does require significant time, documentation, and a sizeable percentage is deducted before funds are released. While that campaign runs successfully, we’re calling on the community to rally together and make a more immediate impact.
Let’s get the ball rolling for a quicker turnaround and help Yinnelee get the support she needs – right now!
✅ Buy a ticket for just R20 here,
✅Comment the number of tickets you are buying on the social media post (for added ease), ✅Send off your PROOF OF PAYMENT to hello@localfirst.africa (we will mark your name as paid once pop is received)
✅ Share this initiative with friends, family, and colleagues
✅ Encourage others to get involved – every bit of support counts!
The raffle ends on Feb 28, 2025 so let’s rally together and make this happen for Yinnelee. Let’s show her the strength of a united community and give her the chance at a pain-free life that she deserves.
🌟 Together, we can make a difference! 🌟
