When a friend of the 2oceansvibe family needs a hand, we try and help where we can.

In the case of 13-year-old Kira Godfrey, from Paarl, her friends and family are asking for financial assistance.

Kira suffers from scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, and underwent a costly operation last week, on May 6.

Thank you once again for all the love and support shown to Kira and family!

Yesterday, Kira was able to leave the hospital, but she still faces a long, and costly, road to recovery.
