"EVERY GIRL DESERVES A “CINDERELLA MOMENT” AT LEAST ONCE IN HER LIFE, AND I FELT LIKE I MISSED MINE. " Vanessa Alily
“I REMEMBER BEING IN MATRIC AND BEING EXCITED ABOUT MY MATRIC DANCE. I PLANNED MY OUTFIT IN MY HEAD DOWN TO EVERY LAST DETAIL. I EVEN WENT ONLINE AND SEARCHED OUT DRESSES THAT I’D LOVE TO BUY. I WAS SO EXCITED BUT SADLY I DIDN’T GET TO GO TO MY MATRIC DANCE BECAUSE I COULDN’T AFFORD A MATRIC DRESS.
THAT WAS IN 2014 AND EVEN TILL TODAY I STILL WISH I WENT TO MY MATRIC DANCE. EVERY GIRL DESERVES A “CINDERELLA MOMENT” AT LEAST ONCE IN HER LIFE, AND I FELT LIKE I MISSED MINE. NOW I AM IN A POSITION TO CHANGE THAT REALITY FOR ANOTHER GIRL AND HELP MAKE THAT DREAM COME TRUE, THAT IS WHY MY TEAM AND I INITIATED THE MATRIC DRESS DRIVE. WE HOPE TO RAISE ENOUGH DRESSES WE CAN DONATE TO GIRLS WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD A DRESS FOR THEIR SPECIAL DAY. SO I AM APPEALING TO YOU READING THIS TO HELP MAKE THIS POSSIBLE BY DONATING WHATEVER GENTLY USED EVENING GOWN OR ACCESSORIES YOU MAY HAVE.
MANY THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU.”
VANESSA ALILY FOUNDER OF THE QUEEN’S GOALS
This was the idea that pushed our Matric Dress Drive.
We created our Matric Dress Drive to provide dresses to female matric learners who are unable to afford a dress for their special day. Our aim to help these Queens experience their "Cinderella Moment" and we intend to make it a yearly project.
