Vita Nova Centre appeals for donations to make Christmas special for residents
Vita Nova’s manager Michelle Immelman is pleading with the residents, businesses and organisation to help them with donations for their Christmas Dance.
Vita Nova Centre in Daggafontein is calling on community members, businesses and organisations to open their hearts and help make Christmas memorable for its residents, children and adults living with physical and intellectual disabilities.
The centre is appealing for donations ahead of its Christmas Dance, taking place on December 11 at 18:00.
The centre’s manager, Michelle Immelman, said the aim is to give residents an evening filled with happiness, laughter, delicious food, music, and moments they can cherish.
She said that for residents, Christmas is not about expensive presents or fancy gifts, but the simple pleasures of life, including dressing up, listening to their favourite songs, dancing, and enjoying a good meal.

“It is about getting dressed up, hearing their favourite music, dancing with big smiles on their faces and having their tummies filled with yummy treats. It’s about feeling included, celebrated, loved and special,” added Immelman.
She is encouraging members of the public, local businesses and organisations to contribute towards the event. Donations, regardless of their size, will help provide food, treats and other items needed to make the celebration a success.
She believes even the smallest contribution can bring happiness to residents, whether it is a slice of cake, a favourite treat, or support for the festivities.
“No donation is too small. Every contribution will help us put smiles on faces, fill little and big tummies, create happy hearts and make our residents feel truly special. Let’s join hands and show our residents that they are loved, valued and remembered.”
