WEEK FOUR - 25th January 2010

As we drove to the Sunshine Coast yesterday we passed a car with 'Angel Flight' on it.
As angels have a special meaning for me this week I took that as a sign.

So this week's $5 donation goes to Angel Flight Australia
It's not as easy as typing in your details and hitting send this time.  You will have to download the form in either PDF or Word form, fill in your details, then e-mail it.  But, go on, it's worth the effort.

Who's feeling generous this week?

WEEK THREE - 18th January 2010

This week's donation was a fairly obvious choice.  Originally I wasn't going to donate to this cause because I had intended to choose charities closer to home.  But when a disaster of this magnitude occurs I think the world needs to respond.

The earthquake in Haiti is a major disaster.

The difficult part was choosing which organization to donate to.  I have chosen the Australian Red Cross.

My $5 isn't much but lots of $5 would make a bigger difference.  Who's with me?

WEEK TWO - 11th January 2010

This week I have been inspired by Cate Bolt's Open Letter to the Prime Minister & The Premier of Queensland to donate $5 to Vinnies as Cate herself has asked for no donations for themselves but to give to Vinnies or the Salvos.

Can you spare a few dollars to donate, too?

And while you're at it, how about e-mailing the Prime Minister (http://www.pm.gov.au/PM_Connect/contact_your_pm_form) and The Premier of Queensland (thepremier@premiers.qld.gov.au ) Cate's letter.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could make a difference?

WEEK ONE - 5th January 2010

This is my first donation for the year.
This week I have chosen to donate $5 to the McGrath Foundation.
I saw on The Today Show this morning that it is Jane McGrath Day at the cricket.  And that is when the idea popped into my head.
Now, I'm waiting for a sign to see who I'll choose for next week.

And So I Begin....

Oh my God, I have started yet another blog!
I am a blogaholic for sure!!
But this one is a good one (not that the others aren't).
This one was born from my Brilliant Idea .

I have decided to donate $5 to a worth cause every week for this whole year.
And I am dedicating this blog to charting my chosen charities.
I hope you will follow it and maybe even donate something yourself.
