Please can you help?

[Jacqui Harvey]

It will never end, but those of us who can, should always give... My Mother was a generous person always giving to Charity (even gave away my Wedding Dress to help a girl who really needed it).   She always used to say whatever she gave away she got back two fold and I know exactly what she meant, by this and it was not money.

I know for a fact that the father of the little girl has been extremely reluctant to ask for anything he has not provided himself. It has taken a lot for this situation to be reached where they are being given help,which they richly deserve.

Charity like its sister Mercy, blesses him who gives as well as him who receives.

Remember none of us know what is around the corner, however unlikly it may seem at present, any of us could need help in the future.

Please help these poor children if you can.

What hurts the most?

A little 7 year old boy who has suffered the pain of leukaemia for more years of his life than he hasn't, and faces the pain of at least two more years of chemotherapy, or the pain of the poor expat who moved to his country and has to read requests to help children like him.

The topic titles nearly always make it quite obvious when a request for donations are being made. You can ignore those ones if you aren't interested in helping the community you moved into.

Absolutely astounding, you think you've heard it all...

This is Calis Beach Forum at its best, forget about the price of Efes for a moment, put the your hand in your pocket and just give something
to probably the one of most worthy of causes and I dont mean all the regular names I mean everyone!

We will take anything for the hamper at the Animal Aid stand on Sunday
as will the Calis Carnival stand, lets do it!!

also if anyone in the UK or anywhere else wants to help you can use the Animal Aid paypal account and we will turn donations into provisions, there is nothing in the Paypal account as we emptied yesterday so anything donated over the next two weeks will be considered as a donation for the childrens cause unless otherwise stated.  animalaidfethiye@hotmail.com  make sure you send it as a gift it will then come with no charges attached.

Feznut your comment beggars belief.
I will donate some money later via paypal as I can not personally be in Turkey to give goods, if I was then no question about it.
These poor children and their families makes me realise how lucky I am.
