The Generosity of Spirit :-)

I have been completely amazed by the generosity of people who don't even know me personally, yet are prepared to donate to my cause :-)

I have been to visit three of my sponsor shops and the result on the money tin collections at their front counters is unreal!

Sister Cafe at Cotton Tree:  Raised $70.20


Sister Cafe at Palmwoods:  Raised $80.50 (someone left a ten dollar note in the tin!)


Collection of Rainbows Giftware:  Raised $23

This is incredibly excellent from all of you!! I am very grateful to the kindness of your staff (some of which emptied your tip jars for me!) and your wonderful customers!

So the total at this point is $660.20! Not long until the target goal of $750 :-D

If you are able to donate at Canada Helps, I would be most appreciative!

Thanks for dropping by! I'm off to practice my Khmer now ;-)

Excellent Updates!

I know it has been a little while since I last posted on here, work has taken up so much time!

Just a quick report on some of the progress made with fundraising :-)

The BBQ raised $474.60 total!  I am happy with this result. I was very fortunate that the people who won my $100 prize raffle donated the prize straight back to me!  I am very grateful to Natasha and Chloe for donating back the prize winnings :-)

Today I collected my money tin from Sister Cafe Cotton Tree.  Thanks to the generous staff and patrons of the cafe, I raised $70.20 total!

So far I have raised a total of $654.75.  This includes all of my fundraising actions and the individual donations I have collected so far.

I have a donation page with Canada Helps, please support me if you can!  I am grateful and humbled for all of the help I have received so far!

There is still more to come, but just that quick update for now :-)
