Thanks to Nichola for taking photographs of the delivery day for the washing machines paid for by a certain group of folk right here on CBF...so here goes:
Special cargo being loaded up
Yes?
We have a little something for you
Cay for the workers
Delivered and installed. Note the kids are both holding something...
Another one delivered
And another
This will make a hell of a difference to these families
Hope you enjoyed seeing what your amazing donations actually resulted in, this isn't putting money in an envelope or in a tin at the supermarket and never quite knowing what happened to it - your money (100% of it) has been used to bring a little lift to families who haven't had that feeling much at all in recent times.
Thanks to the wonderful Bekir at Eren Spot for doing the charity a good deal which allowed them to buy better quality machines. Bekir has always been such an amazing supporter of such fundraisers - I remember walking in and asking him for a telly for a previous event "oh, and I want it free" -- Bekir: "Which one, you choose it". Plus people should really use him not for this but because he is the best on price and service anyway...
Thanks to Nichola and the others who give their time freely to try and assist wherever they can with the refugees - without them there would be no washing machines because we wouldn't know anything about the families or the conditions they are living in (without complaint it must be said).
And thanks so much again to CBF members - without you there would DEFINITELY be no washing machine deliveries
Oh, and finally - the kids holding something I mentioned. As if a new Hotpoint isn't enough, Bekir's men gave all the kids 5 lira each. Stunning.
