Leena was hit by a scooter in a hit and run accident whilst crossing the road and has been in hospital with a serious hip and wrist fracture.
Many of you will know Leena from the belly dance world. As a self employed dancer this is a life changing event.
Leena has been in hospital and has received treatment however recovery will be long and any support you can give would be much appreciated as she can't work and will have to rely on others for help and care for some time.
Please donate any money you can. This will be collected and sent to help her with
1. After Care
2. Physiotherapy
3. Medical care/equipment (home)
4. Help to support her while she can't work (which could be many months)

This is Tara and I've set up this fundraiser for our dear friend Leena Vie who … Tara Oakley needs your support for MEDICAL HELP, CARE & SUPPORT FOR LEENA VIE

As a dancer, it is important (in my point of view) to have an excellent knowledge of history and customs. To avoid clichés and especially missteps that could hurt our audience. Our intention must be to support culture, not to ape it. That is why I began to study the artistic movement which appeared...
