I have had a wonderful 4 days with Karina Tomlinson who has been a true angel in disguise. Not only has she spend alot of money on donations to us but she also helped with all the Woodford RFS hygiene bags and will deliver them free of charge in about 2 weeks. Karina also drove me around to every place I had to go to for our charity; not with standing the hundreds of kilometres and many hours drive to and fro just to come see and help me.
Currently, I am re-staking a claim to our patron Michael and book keeper Leanne; to recheck our status to get GST and a GDR for our charity so people can get money back off tax for financial donations. Many other charities can get one so I want to know why we can't.
This week I will be busy with boxing up toys so they are ready to send to Garry Smith in Darwin as soon as we can. Currently we need about $400 more to send 6 off all together.
Secondly, I am having huge problems with my ancient computer and will have to buy a refurbed one in 2-4 months. Until then, the donation photos will take far longer to upload on the website due to a script problem. I have most of September's on there but have to finish uploading a ton more then add names of every donor to it.
I humbly apologize for the delays but it can't be helped.
A big thank you for all the concerned people who have emailed me about my massive work load. Yes it has taken a huge toll on my health but I will be fine, I'm a tough cookie and ultimately it is for our little darlings so it gives me the strength to go on.
Karina has helped beyond all words can say so I am half way there.
