Ms Shally says she hopes to galvanize a number of A-list Celebs and Top Entrepreneurs for this worthy cause and says others celebrities are welcome to join in on this kind gesture. “Our mission is to show children that love exists and we hope after spending time with them at Christmas party, it will help them move on from the horrible experiences they went through” .
