Gifts From the Heart For Downs: Lot's Going On BUT Nothing Happening At the Moment...

Taken from www.giftsfromtheheartfordowns.blogspot.com: SEE THE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT->

I have several wishes to work on....and am doing a lot to network and fundraise....I am at a point, where without donations, wishes will go slow, until I raise the money to get them granted. For those wishes that I can get in kind donations....they will be granted, those that require funds will be placed in line, unless the wishes status changes for example....someone wants to meet a celebrity.....I need to fly them to meet that person....however, now the person is doing a concert or book signing for example and they can get there without air fare and I can get the other things donated.....those wishes then will be moved to the top of the list and worked on.


I am going to put this out there to never bring it up again. I will be doing fundraising on line like all the other foundations. We are a very small organization.....and at the moment, it is a one man show. I do it all. Which I don't mind....but I can't do it all and do it quickly......Presently I am doing the wish granting, the fundraising, the e-mailing, the thank you cards, the networking, working and most importantly raising my children. I honestly don't mind doing it all....however, when I try to do fundraising and I get just one or two donations, which don't misunderstand I appreciate....but there are a lot of people out there......and with a small amount from a lot of people, we could keep the wishes going. But because I now have to stop and do fundraising, wishes will have to take a back seat. Sean K's wish will be granted as soon as I have a date!!!!
The money is there and waiting for him.....after that.....there is nothing!!!!! I have asked people like other bloggers to donate $5.00 and to please spread the word to friends and family. Many of you are on Facebook....pass the word.....look what Gifts From the Heart For Downs is doing for our children.....this foundation is FOR REAL!!!!! Ask those who have asked for wishes and have been granted them. Ask those who have put in an application and I have responded to them. We as a group can grow this into something big and wishes will be granted quicker........please, I have seen it happen, through other blogs and therefore know it is possible. With your help we can make all these wishes come true and more......I will be launching a online fundraiser in March and April and hope that all will help and take part.


With that another application has come in.....I have a young adult who would like to meet Julie Andrews.

So if I can arrange with the celebrities these wishes.....they will all be granted in time.....some celebrities take more time than others....and some wishes take more funding than others, because of travel.......so with that to recap.....we have Sean K. meeting the Big Time Rush....which we all anxiously await for.....

Jimmy who wants to meet Garth Brooks


Dylan who wants to meet George Lucas

Alex who wants to meet Kenny Chesney

Brooke who wants to meet Brian Urlacher
This wish has been granted Brooke will meet Brian Urlacher in July/August during summer training.
AND

Julia who wants to meet Laurie Berkner
Which I believe will take place in March
Those are a couple of wishes that are being worked on. Applications to others are pending....and I look forward to granting more wishes as donations come in.......Thank you for reading!!!!!
