Wow - that's very kind marina but I have to admit to being "disappointed" that other than regular contributors. other members seem to be  "slow" to come forward. :( :

Number 33 is all yours. Thank you.

Thank you Highlander.
Yes, it is quite disappointing. These are tough times now for everyone but for so many of the children over there they are tough all the time  :(

If you want to know where the money raised by CBF members goes, here is one example.

It’s the upsetting case of a little girl with a hairy naevus on her face. If you google “hairy naevus” you will get some idea of how distressing this must be for this little girl. The naevus is encroaching on her eye which is then in jeopardy.

After much hard work the 3C’s have arranged treatment at the American Hospital in Istanbul.

The proposed treatment consists of 8 laser sessions followed by a surgery. The costs were always going to be very substantial but unfortunately since the girl last visited the hospital in June 2018, the costs have increased dramatically. The treatment will however be life changing for her.

Each treatment should be a day case each time, unless anything unforeseen occurs.

Likewise any extra medication required will be charged.

There should still be some surgery following the treatment but costs for this are unknown.

The girls first lazer session is booked was carried out last Thursday.

Soul Train and Race for Life have assisted with the substantial costs involved.

So, if you would like to help this little girl the numbers remaining are 2, 3, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 28, 31, 32, 34, 35 and 38.
