It’s been a busy week raising funds to care for the dying!!
On Friday night we catered for 220 people at the Gympie Debutante Ball which was very generously and beautifully run by Sandra Williamson from Gympie Bridal with the help of Bronwyn Molloy. Raising around $10000 for Little Haven. What a gorgeous evening and lovely bunch of young people making their Debut, happy, well mannered and clearly just enjoying their night together. Their parents have every right to be very proud of them.
Today we were given the opportunity to raise funds by the GRC, catering for their seniors morning tea. What a pleasure to serve 320 of our older residents, many from aged care facilities and home care services. Well done Karney and Estelle and the GRC for this lovely morning. Little Haven will benefit by making around $2000 and funds were also raised for the Community Bus ?
Thank you LH volunteers. You are incredible working long hours without complaint, and completely unperturbed by the endless mountains of washing up.
But we couldn’t have coped without all of those generous people who rallied to our shout out for help. Kids and parents and Facebook friends and relatives of family members we’d looked after, people I’d never met showed up to lend a hand. You were beautiful today and my heart is full. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Tomorrow the Chapple St sheds are open from 8 – 12 and a different arm of our volunteers will be doing what they do – raising funds from community donations. Tireless in their support.
What a community!
