Please donate $1 (or more if you can) to our Benefit for Heather Clark
*Update for 12/17/2009 – I apologize for being out of touch. We recently moved and had a family medical situation of our own but here’s the latest. On November 9th, your first batch of donations totalling $2,760 (R19,811.23 – South African Rand) were received excitedly in South Africa. We are so thrilled to see everyone come together for such a good cause. You all far exceeded our original $1,000 goal and funds are still coming in. We will be making another wire transfer around the end of December so if you’d still like to donate, there’s still time. Drop by again soon for an update on Heather’s recovery progress.
We would like to raise $1,000 to go toward Heather’s medical expenses so we need 1,000 of our readers to open up their hearts and wallets and give one dollar each. Our goal is to wire this money to South Africa on November 1st. If you can’t give at this time but would like to leave some thoughts for Heather, please email your message to jettygirl @ boardfolio.com (remove the spaces) and we’ll post it here.
Thank you from Heather and family…
Heather and her family are very touched by the awesome love and support shown by everyone all over the world. A huge thank you to all of you who have contributed towards the fund – thank you so much!
The hospital costs are already quite formidable and they require most of the costs upfront which is a daunting prospect for the family. Heather was also supposed to have started her swimming school next week and now will not be able to do so, which means a loss of income for her. Please help where you can and spread the word – every little bit, no matter how insignificant you might think it would be, WILL help. Your contributions despite the economic recession mean a great deal to Heather and her family.
Information about Heather’s accident
