barkwindjammer Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Just a simple update, 1 week into the fundraiser and its a third of the way there already £50 many many thanks to the generous people from the YOC who have 'chipped in' so far, none of us will ever get to meet the souls that this donation will help, and may none of us ever find ourselves on the recieving end of a humanitarian plea.

barkwindjammer Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well, its been 1 month since this simple fundraiser http://www.justgiving.com/shelter-me went live, I'm struck by the interest in it and touched by the generosity thats pushed it toward the goal of raising £150 +, going directly to http://www.shelterbox.org/, not only to help in Haiti but all over our fragile planet-more recently Portugal and Chile, many many thanks to all of you who have 'dug deep'-including not one but three celebrities-two from this very site "can you guess who they are ?" Update: the amount raised so far is £95, which is 63% (for the statistitions out there) of the target, £2 goes a long way. Stay safe, and peace be with you Jim and Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkwindjammer Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 With just over a week to go before the 'draw' its looking good so far, a very generous £99.00 has been raised so far another £51.00 would see the target met, remember this isn't a raffle, its for a very noble cause, however in just over 1 weeks time someone will be taking stock of an 8 person tent, all you need to do to take part in this fundraiser is go along to the page http://www.justgiving.com/shelter-me , and donate the cost of one pint of beer-belly ale, £2.00 and your in the draw, either you or a local group i.e. the Scouts, will be sent this 'shelter', to us this means holiday/fun/creepy crawlies etc, to the people of Haiti and other areas of disaster- this would mean 'home'. please, please visit the web-page and make your donation and may peace be with you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
