My mum needs money

Not for herself mind you, rather she is fundraising for The Kids Foundation. My mum is the volunteer  Arts and crafts coordinator at Camp Phoenix. Camp Phoenix is a holiday experience that provides burn survivors and their families time away from their on-going treatment. Camp Phoenix has been running for 19 years and is recognised Australia wide for its work with kids. Please click over for just for a minute or two.

My mum has set the target to raise $2,600 dollars to cover the cost of two kids attending camp. She is fundraising locally through her many and varied old nanna channels as well as online, and I thought that perhaps some of you might have $5 to spare (and yes I know there is a million things you could donate to, and yes I know that it is not possible to donate to everything….I really do, but dudes, its my mum so I have to ask.)

I thought to help coerce people I would offer a giveaway. If you donate $5 to my mum through her Everyday Hero page then I will enter you in the draw to win your own Little Red Riding Hood doll, with frock and cape and vegies- the whole kit and caboodle! the more multiples of $5, the more entries of course.

You need to donate with credit card and then they will email you with a receipt number which you can enter into the comments section here. Its a great page actually, you can see little messages from the people who have donated- totally cool. If that’s all a bit too hard, we can work out a PayPal solution-just email me.

So that’s it people, me asking for monies again. Please don’t get your knickers in a twist if you don’t think this is appropriate blog-fodder, just click away and come back in a few days.

I’ll draw the winner on Thursday or Friday and will close the comments then as well.

Thanks

  2. Really? people get their knickers in a twist over something like this?

    Happy to support your Mum's work. She sounds like a wonderful woman.

    Don't really need an incentive to donate...but having said that, I would love the chance to win a LIttle Red doll. Who wouldn't?

  40. My daughter (now 8) fell into a campfire at age 6. I can attest to the importance of burn camp in the lives of these kids. She went last year for the first time and will go again this year (not to Camp Phoenix, but to our regional pediatric burn camp here in the US). Burn camp is a powerful healing tool for these children. What a wonderful thing you are doing. Thank you, on behalf of the burn moms out there, for your efforts.
