Step into a Dream and #doDifferent
Imagine a day where wearing slippers isn't just comfy—it's an act of kindness. That's the magic of Slipper Day, an annual event in South Africa that transforms ordinary footsteps into extraordinary moments of hope.
Slipper Day, spearheaded by the incredible organisation Reach For A Dream, is more than just a fun day to rock your favourite slippers. It's a powerful movement that brings joy and makes dreams come true for children battling life-threatening illnesses. For a small donation of R20, you get a special Slipper Day sticker, your ticket to wear slippers with pride and show your support.
Reach For A Dream is an organisation dedicated to bringing hope, courage, and joy to children facing tough battles. They understand that a dream can be a powerful medicine, offering relief from the everyday challenges of illness. By making dreams a reality, they inspire these young dreamers to believe in the impossible.
