I've just been talking to Donna from Katherine in the NT, who runs a wonderful organization that helps children there.
Next Wednesday week they will be having a film night to raise money for us and we will then have circa $2,000 towards freight to take all the goodies up there. They will then do two more fundraisers to help us out for the rest of the freight and money towards trauma toys.
I really want to thank a young lady by the name of Ameena Serao who has been a constant support and wonderful friend the last few weeks. She told Donna all about us and we knew our collaboration was Divine intervention!
I would also like to thank the supportive members of the Support NT Police group that have offered help, advice and encouragement for all that we do. My committee is the same and I wouldn't know what to do without them, especially Antonia Fleming who has been with me since day one.
One last thing! We MUST have absolutely every item to be sent to the Northern territory by the 3rd week of September as the rainy season begins in October and it is impossible for the truck to get through and for the organization to deliver these goods into remote communities.
