Lizma Finalist for COPPERSTONE/ Little Fighters Cancer Trust project

For the first time in my life I'm given the chance to show what I'm capable of. Copperstone Talent Search is a singing competition where the finalists need to be an Artist with a purpose. I am so thankful that their campaign in 2018 includes Child Cancer Awareness. I've also decided to invite a local charity called Little Fighters Cancer Trust in Cape Town because these NGO charities are struggling to raise money for these kids on a daily basis and all they want to do is making life easier on these kids and their parents. Can you PLEASE help me to help them? Thank you so much.

MORE ABOUT LITTLE FIGHTERS CANCER TRUST
