I'm writing with humility and hope to ask for your support for my 12‑year‑old daughter, *Leja*, who has earned a place among the Top 25 dancers representing South Africa at the World Dance Competition in Orlando, Florida (2027).

Leja was selected during the International MSC Galaxy of the Oceans competition (March 2026). She also qualified for July 2026, but without funding we had to decline—a heartbreak we’re determined not to repeat.
