Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Eva-Mae has
asked if she would be able to skip for charity! Absolutely yes you can!
Eva-Mae has
empathy and concern that is rarely seen and she is 6!
From Monday the 25th January Eva will be skipping non stop for 30 minutes every day for a week.
Videos and pictures will be posted on this just giving page and on Facebook as the 30 minutes are completed.
After discussing with Eva which charity she would like to skip for she has categorically decided that she would like all donations to go to a local homeless charity
“because everyone deserves to have a home” (Eva-Mae)
After looking for local homeless charities Eva has chosen Pathways of chesterfield.
We are also looking for donations which I am able to collect or can be dropped off with us in old Whittington, these will then be collected from us by Pathways.
