We heard about Shamees thanks to our friends at Reach for A Dream. Shamees is 16 years old and was unfortunately diagnosed with lupus last year – a life threatening illness. You can imagine she’s been through a lot and still has many dreams to fulfil. We spoke to her mom Shehaam and Shamees.

A big thank you once again to our friends at Reach for A Dream. And a special thank you to First Technology Western Cape for generously helping Shamees get closer to achieving her dreams.
