A tragic family who need some help
« on: November 18, 2014, 10:28:30 AM »
I have deliberately posted this here to hopefully get more exposure than in the Embrace Fundraisers News and Events section.

I was very moved by the last part of this post by hubblebubbles in the Bambu closed for the winter thread.

Please read about the tragic family.

http://www.calis-beach.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=57020.msg382958#new

Even although I know that many of you have already been kind enough to sign up to the Twelve Days of Christmas, I’m going to be being a right royal pain in the posterior and ask you to please, please  help this family.

I would like to run an advent calendar especially for this cause. I would want this one to take precedent over the other Advent calendar thread and I sincerely hope that we can fill at least one calendar.

For those who don’t know - here’s how it will work hopefully.

I have randomly allocated a number to the 25 days from the first to the twenty-fifth of December.

You choose a number and I put your name against the date.

Behind each door of the calendar is a monetary amount – 10 x £ 5’s, 10 x £10’s, 4 x £ 15’s and 1 x £ 20.

By choosing a number you agree to donate the amount behind the door.

I will open a door each day starting on the first to reveal the amount behind the door and the name of the person who was allocated that day.

Many thanks for your time. I hope you can help
