WEEK THIRTY-SEVEN - 13th September

After receiving shocking news that one of the beautiful little girls I taught in Year 2, 9 years ago, had committed suicide, this week I'm donating $5 to Lifeline - Suicide Prevention.

I Found $5 - 16th August

I'm not supposed to resume donations until the 6th of September.
But this morning as I was walking home with my two year old daughter, after dropping my five year old boy at school, we found $5 on the footpath.
I've never been a "Finders keepers" (or "finds it keeps it" as my five year old says) kind of person.
But there was no one else around and it was too far from the school to take it back to the office.
So, as my usual donation amount is $5, I immediately thought of it as a free donation.

Who to choose?

As my Mum recently suffered a severe heart attack, I'm choosing...

Heart Foundation!

The Heart Foundation is dedicated to reducing the dreadful effects of the number of people living with, or dying from heart, stroke and blood vessel disease.

Even if you didn't find $5, you can donate too by clicking here.

WEEK TWENTY-NINE - WEEK THIRTY-SIX - 19th July - 6th September

This week's donation is a special one because it's for my cousins.
So I'm changing the rules for this one and making a sizeable donation.
Instead of $5, we're donating $40.  That's 2 month's worth! 

In September my cousin Fleur is cycling from Brisbane to Sydney to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy.

She is doing this for her younger brother, my cousin Blair.

In her words...

 My younger brother also has a Neuromuscular disorder and my family understands the daily challenges of everyday life for him. My brother is now 17; he did used to walk, play cricket even ride a bike. Those were challenges for him then, now he needs help even to lift up his arms. Although he misses out on everyday things kids do without thought he doesn’t complain.

If you would like to sponsor Fleur as well, click here.

See you in 2 months. :)

WEEK TWENTY-SEVEN & TWENTY-EIGHT 5th & 12th July

It's Cate Bolt's birthday today and she has a special birthday wish.

She is asking for donations to the Orangutan Land Trust to provide permanent solutions for the long-term survival of the orangutan in the wild by ensuring safe areas of land for their continued existence.


The minimum donation is $10 so this is another double week. I hope you will join us.
 
See you in two weeks.

WEEKS TWENTY-FIVE & TWENTY-SIX - 21st & 28th June

Last Friday was Red Nose Day.

I'm doing another double up donation today, because I thought my last double up covered last week, but I was a week behind. (I'm blaming aging for my memory loss!)

SIDS and Kids is dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood and to supporting bereaved families.

With nine offices throughout Australia and a National office in Melbourne, SIDS and Kids areas of focus include bereavement support, education, research, national awareness campaigning, advocacy and fundraising.

Anyway, I'm more than happy to give a double donation of $10 to Red Nose Day as they are a most deserving charity.

I hope you will join me and my boy by clicking here to donate, too.

See you next week.
(I hope I don't forget!)
