PHOTOS: Superb spoils for all the supermoms in town
The moms of special needs children were spoiled.
MBOMBELA – The moms of children with special needs, disabilities or chronic illnesses were given time off from their motherly duties and spoiled on Thursday evening.
This event was the brainchild of Hilary Marx. “I am also the mother of a special needs boy. I know the journey and how difficult it can be. I wanted to create an environment where they can relax and do not have to worry about their children for the evening.”
Together with Ananje de Bruin, Cindy Pienaar and volunteers, they arranged the free Supermoms event at Church Unlimited.

More than 50 mothers came and had the opportunity to get free manicures, pedicures, facial treatments, hair styling and massages.
For those who wanted to let their minds roam free, there was also an arts and crafts section. Various therapists were also present to answer all the questions they might have had. Every mom was treated with a gift bag.
Special needs mother, Roshika Bhagwandhin said that she was very grateful to all who managed to put together this event. “It makes you feel special for once after everything we do for our kids. It is a great initiative,” she beamed.
Moms in similar circumstances also had the opportunity to chat with one another and realise they are not alone in the situations they experience daily. Supermoms aims to make this a yearly event.
