We made $2200 for charity  |
|
Ok so we had to buy the flowers that we sold as none of the people that told us they would give us thing for free gave us anything so the bill was about $600 but that lives $1600 to give away. And again we the whole family worked together and sold the flowers for mothers day. We still dont know who to give it to we have few options and we have to make a decision very soon. There is a family with a sick child that needs to go to hospital a lot and they dont have a car we are thinking of buying something for them if ther is a good car for that money.

1. dumblnddzzy (8092) | 3 months ago | That is so wonderful what your family did for charity. Sounds like you need to get some media about this so someone will have a good running car to donate or to sell for cheap for you. Contact your local newspaper, or news station about this, you'll be amazed at the outpouring of help you will get for this family...Lori

violeta_va (1464) | 3 months ago | we dont want to put our selfs in the spot light as that is not why we are doing it. We are a family that has had its ups and downs and our fair share of bad luck so now that we are somewhat ok we want to give back to people that are in need. Usually we donate to organisations like cancer or Autism this are things that have afected us personaly. Last time (valentine day) we were promised so much but no one did anything. Yes sure wraping paper come and get it oh by the way its 25c for a 60cm by 90. Oh wow great I will give you flowers oh by the way they are $4 each for a bunch. Even the guy that always gave us flowers for free decided that we needed to pay for them. Oh well they can have their money but we still made a great sale.

violeta_va (1464) | 3 months ago | yes it is disappointing as we have been doing this for few years now and we never had to pay that much for the flowers usually what we paid was some 10% off the total money raised at the end this year was about 35% this is bad as with $2200 there are lot of cars we could buy. Even the roses man decided to take $200 and he always gave us flowers for free it was usually what was left over after his orders were done.

3. hiccup (3600) | 3 months ago | With $1600, you should be able to get a good car for that, Maybe have a chat to a Radio Station or Sun Paper and tell them what you are doing and they maybe able to get a better car for you. BETTER THOUGHT< Use the TV, Chn'9 Current affair or Chn'7 Today,Tonight. They will help. they are always after a GOOD STORY and you have one. violeta-va, is in Australia, so she will know what I am talking about with the TV Stations, Check the web site for the TV, then you can E-Mail direct to them.

violeta_va (1464) | 3 months ago | We dont want to get involved with the media this is not what its all about. I am sure that we could get more but I am sure that they will get it that way them self if they want to. Its not fair on them and its something we dont want to do. we usually give the money to charity and its usually the once that we feel close to like cancer (my mother had cancer), Autism (my son), blind (my father) thats what we do. This family was an alternative to do something personal we will try to get a good deal if not they can have the money or if not give it to the Royal children Hospital where my son had an operation last month.
