£1046 ($2100) Raised From Friend Shavinbg Her Head Today!

Hi Guybrush, Even though some responses were fairly lengthy this is the one that moved Wendie when I let her read through, I have never seen her well up like she did then bless. Huggles. Ellie :D

Oh Guybrush, thank you for your kind words, I will be letting Wendie read all your comments and this one will make her smile, the beauty within eh! I am so pleased there was such a good turn out and that so much money was raised and is still being added to. Ellie :D

Thank you very much for the best response, Ellie!

Ellie, Your poem is quite powerful. You must be thrilled that it is posted in Women's Refuges in the UK. I have no doubt that it is inspiring to the women who come to the shelters. You should be proud. Well done. Thanks for sharing it with me and other myLotters.

Thanks PearlGrace, If just one person reads and it help I have helped to make a difference eh! Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi PearlGrace, I wrote this poem a few years ago which is now on the wall in womens refuges in the South West of the UK and if it helps just one women see that she is being controlled and not her fault it is good so it has a place in my heart too, I have helped a few woman myself to get out of situations. Here is a copy. My body may be battered and bruised From you no more will I be abused Inside I am strong What you did was wrong Today I'll start to sing my song Life you see still goes on. Freedom is the gift you've given me It took this event to make me really see Just how joyful freedom can be You may have thought you loved me What you did in fact was control I've now taken my own direction It might be a winding road ahead But now i'm relaxed at night I now sleep in my bed My body may be battered and brusied But bruises heal. Time to heal yourself I'm still your friend, I still care Release your bruised heart if you dare. ECH 2000 (c) Wendie did do a great job today though, I admire her for being so brave. Ellie :D

Thank you elle.

Hi Moondancer, I think this hospital does an amazing job as it is very important for the families to be able to stay close to the children. It is good too that someone looks out for the animals. Thanks for sharing. I have uploaded different pics of the day in some of the other responses if you want to see the before and after pics. Ellie :D

Thanks, I'll bookmark it.

Hi Munchkin, I agree I love chatting to elderly people, I used to spend hours listening to my nanas stories of when she was younger. In fact earlier in the week myself and my son went to feed the ducks and there was an old boy with his dog sat on the bench and my son (4) were chatting for ages about planes and trains. It was lovely. He told me he visited the park daily for company bless. So many just shut themselves away in their homes or are unable to get out, so a great job you do Munchin . Wendie done a great job too and there is still more money coming in. Ellie :D

Aw what a sweet story! older people have so much to give, they've generally got time on their hands and love telling their stories, which are usually entertaining as well as teaching us things about the past and what went on before we were born! More people should definitely make time for them, it's wrong that after working all their lives, possibly having fought for this country and everything else some are shut away alone with noone to talk to! You're little boy will have made that man's day! I hope the fundraising total keeps rising! xxx

Hi Cyberfluff, yes she done an amazing job bless and it was a great day for a great cause and money is still coming in which is even better. I try to donate to as many as I can and the ones that yuo donate to are all good causes too. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Mummymo, I am similar, I donate regularly through direct debit to NSPCC but also help Save the Chilren, Cancer Research, Macmillan, the RNLI and Air Ambulance too. I give time or money or donations of items as well as money as and when I can too. Huggles. Ellie :D

He, he, now that IS an idea LOL, yeah lets put him in the stocks too. Have uploaded a couple of pics in the other responses, one of Wendie with her beauitful long hair before it was done and one of her in the stocks with it cut but about to be shaved, yikes. So will up load another here also. The Salvation Army I think are great too, I did in fact go every week when I was younger and when I came out of hospital after I ruptured my spleen they were fantastic and really helped me a lot and came to see me as I couldn't walk properly yet either. I always used to by the Young Soldier, you don't see them out and about so much now though, very worthy cause. I try to help the homeless too through Shelter. Ellie:D

Wendie really is brave. All that hair cut off. Still, she can choose a new style as it grows back now. LOL. The Sally Ann are wonderful I think. I'm pleased that they could help you.

Hi Gemini_rose, Oh it was an excellent day and yes a lot of money raised and still more coming in too which is fantastic. There are lots of before and after pics now within the discussion if you want to take a peek, I think it is great when people do do this but I personally choose to give time or money and support where I can. Ellie :D

Hi Celestial helping others is a great thing to do in whatever way you can do it and I am sure all you do is appreciated by the people you are kind to and help. Thank you for sharing. Ellie :D

Hi Aville, Thank you, it was a great day and yes a lot of money was raised and there is still more coming in now. Ellie :D

Hi Checapricorn, Yes cancer affects many, as especially sad in children but yes a good amount of money was raised which made it worthwhile her doing. I have uploaded various pics on different responses, before after and during. LOL. Ellie :D

Hi Jill Well now I have another response I will upload a picture of Wendie before which my son Jacob in fact took, he is better at taking photos than me bless. Disabled American Venerans is a great one and one obviously very close to your heart because of your dad eh! Ellie:D

Hi Tamara, It is great to be able to do something positive isn't it and everyone enjoyed the day and a lot of money was raised which is what it was all about really. Ellie :D

Hi Mands, Sorry that you have suffered loss through this terrible disease, I don't know many people who haven't been affected in some way by it which is why I think Wendie done such a great thing and more money is still coming in so the total will probably be a lot more. I tend to give time and money and will donate items too but don't participate in head shaves other than to help on the day. Thank you for responding as it was a difficuly subject. Huggles. Ellie :D
