Story
It's been an awful 18 months+ for the majority of people over the globe in so many ways. Mental health problems are on the rise at an alarming rate, Physical health has been battered, Job losses increasing the amount struggling financially. Everyone who donates will be entered into our huge raffle with some fantastic prizes, Full details and the prize list can be seen by following the social media links at the foot of this message.
Doing video blogs, events or posts take a huge chunk out of me. The nerves and stress are horrible but the ends must justify the means. You get one life, Can you do more to help in any way at all? Life is so very short, You don't truly appreciate it until it's under threat. I was the same myself.
We decided for 2021 to give back to the communities of East Lothian again and help resources that have been absolutely drained due to the huge amount of people under financial restraint, out of work, having no support network and generally just needing a wee dig out. I'm talking of course about the food banks and community projects. As a family we've always donated to it and at times have found ourselves in need of it too. It's such a wonderful resource of help for anyone in need but they badly need our help. When able we should all do our part to help in whatever way possible. Last year we raised over £4000 along with van loads of food & toiletries, It was incredibly successful and we hope it can be a success again. This is only a possibility with your help.
We will be running the Foodbank Drive until December 16th to allow time for us delivering everything and gathering as much as humanly possible. Any money donated will go directly towards buying the urgent items in bulk to go straight to the East Lothian Foodbanks and projects. Of course it doesn't matter which foodbank we donate to as it is shared far & wide depending which area has the urgent need. We can pick up any donations of food, toiletries ect in East Lothian & Edinburgh ourselves, If you can drop it off then even better. If you could message the page (link below), myself or any of the team then we will send the closest drop off point or will arrange to pick up.
I truly hope some businesses especially local will get involved by donating in some way or even help with a raffle prize to encourage donators. You will of course get the credit, a shout out and my undying love & attention! If you can help in that sense please contact me via my social media accounts.
I'm asking you again to do something positive to see out the year, No matter how big or small, it all goes to help people & families just like me or you by removing one less worry, No one should go hungry or be ashamed to ask for help. I'm asking you for help.
Any inquiries can be sent to us via our social media platforms below, The full prize list can be seen there too. Come join my journey through cancer, together we can make a difference.
