There's every point JG. Don't know who Ray is referring to but we don't all feel that way - however, to be honest now that i'm looking at the posts on this thread, looks like only a couple have responded. What's up with people??:(

Re: VERY IMPORTANT

Can someone please get their finger out and give me an address!!! I need to sort out C$ and the time for sending cards from Ireland in time for Xmas is drawing closer........:confused:

ps...sorry for the rant, blame T.O.M....:rofl:

Re: VERY IMPORTANT

OK spoke to the wife about this generous initiative. Tania works as an oncology nurse at Kentville hospital. She is currently treating 6 children under 10 and 2 of them fall into the category of needy. For needy read no money for gas/medicines/food etc. There is a charitable fund to help out these patients but sadly it doesnt stretch far all donations will be gratefully received.
Address for cards are:

Nurse Tania Williamson
Oncology Clinic
AMB Care
Valley regional Hospital
150 Exhibition Street
Kentville
Nova Scotia
B4N 5E3.

Thanks in advance

Re: VERY IMPORTANT

So did any cards go out from the Moose people

Re: VERY IMPORTANT

Dunno about the Moosies but I sent a card over . It won't be there yet though.

For anyone interested we finally found a recipient for New Zealand. Better late than never. Anyone in this forum wants to put a smile on a child's face please feel free.

Quote:

This years recipient for our New Zealand Secret Santa is a young 6 year old called Bianca who has been bravely battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia cancer for the past 3 years. What I feel is worthy about this , is that the family have given their time to raise funds and help others in this situation rather than just looking inward and focussing on themselves.

As we all know New Zealand hasn't the greatest of populations and so , if one has spent any length of time here, one knows just how fundamentally important individual support is within a community.

Because of Bianca's age, I wanted the go ahead from her parents and I now have that. I'm told that Bianca will love to receive cards & small gifts and why not indeed after all she has been through. If any of us wish to add a few $$$ towards her parents target goal for fund raising , then so much the better.

The Secret Santa is about a random act of kindness at this time of year. I hope we can all do this for Bianca.

Anyone who wishes to take part, please PM to me & I will send you the details of where to send your cards/gifts and/or $$.

If you wish to see further about what the family has had to battle, I can give you a link for this , but please remember this is a journal by the family

Thanks and Merry Christmas

I'm copying over the Canadian Secret Santa details into the NZ forum in return. A few may just think to spread some cheer.
