Plea for help from Post Pals

I know things are tight financially for many at this time but I am asking you to read the following e.mail I have had sent from Post Pals and would appreciate it if any of you could help in anyway. As Vikki says even 50p helps to put a smile on an ill childs face.

PostPals
Hello, I'm sending this to my address book on the off chance someone reading is able to help or knows someone who is;



Post Pals aims to send out regular post to seriously ill children, but we need your help to make it possible. Could you, someone you know, a local business, club, charity or church help sponsor a project or part of the project? We are careful to hunt around to find things that the children will love but which are also as cheap as possible, we would like to send the following but need your help,


<img src ="http://www.postpals.co.uk/file_upload/fiberoptic.jpg">

Fiber Optic Fingers- fiber optic lights which slip onto your fingers and flash, allowing you to dance, wave your arms around and make pretty patterns, they are enjoyed by both children and adults so will be suitable for all of our Pals and siblings. To send these to all the children will cost £263.72 I know it sounds a lot but we are helping 112 children and that includes postage.

<img src ="http://www.postpals.co.uk/file_upload/egg.jpg">

Growing eggs- special coloured "eggs" which you crack and then water, in time a special plant grows in 7-10 days which has a message attached- they are quite remarkable! Its not suitable for every child so it will cost £215

<img src ="http://www.postpals.co.uk/file_upload/bear.jpg">

"Cuddles" the bear- a 27cm cuddly teddy bear, sure to become a child's best friend. Again its not for everyone so will cost £179


Sweet cone- A cone bag stuffed full of sweets and a couple of toys too! It will cost £132

Beatrix Potter Cards- some of the Pals like to send cards to other children as they know how much it makes them smile, some even spend their pocket money on each other which we think is really sweet, others like to send Thank you's. To enable them to continue we would like to send them a lovely box with 30 Beatrix Potter cards in. This would cost £74.75


<img src ="http://www.postpals.co.uk/file_upload/balloon.jpg">

Crazy Balloon Modelling kit- the name gives it away but a kit complete with balloons, pump and instructions. This would cost £199


Wordsearch mug- its often hard finding presents for the older boys but we thought they might like a wordsearch mug with special pen. This would be £39.80

<img src ="http://www.postpals.co.uk/file_upload/windchime.jpg">

Butterfly Wind chime- a giant wind chime which is over 1 meter tall which goes in your garden, perfect for girls or children who enjoy sensory items. £199.50

<img src ="http://www.postpals.co.uk/file_upload/magnets.jpg">

Dog and Cat Magnets- a set of magnets in the shape of dogs or cats depending on which the child prefers. £199

<img src ="http://www.postpals.co.uk/file_upload/frog.jpg">

Special keyring- you fill the keyring with water and sit back and watch. The frog one magically turns into a prince, a duckling turns into a swan and for older children you can grow some bamboo inside one! £294.56




As you can see costs soon add up which is why we are hoping that you might be able to help. If your a business/club/charity we can put links up to your website and thank you. If you would like to fundraise there are some idea's here

Btt nt

 

Btt once again. nt

 

Maybe nobodys interested?

Thousands of charitys, if i paid 50p to all of them...id be a bit skint

 

RE: Btt once again. nt

We'll send something Laura to help the kids.

 

Why bother replying? nt

 

No-one is being told

to give time or money to help. The idea of keep putting the post btt is so that everyone can read it and judge for themselves if they are in a position to help or not.

As Laura says in the post


"I know things are tight financially for many at this time but I am asking you to read the following e.mail I have had sent from Post Pals and would appreciate it if any of you could help in anyway. As Vikki says even 50p helps to put a smile on an ill childs face."


If people are interested and in a position to help then they will, if not then fine. We appreciate that all Charities are finding things bad at present as everyone is tightening their belts and not giving.

Another way of helping would be to send a letter/note or even an e.mail to any of the children on the site. There are plenty to choose from and who would appreciate it.


The post will be bumped for today, unless Site Admin request otherwise, and then once today is over then it will be allowed to "disappear".

 

Thanks for that.

Any help no matter how great or small would be greatfully appreciated. You don't have to include Laura you can just use the details on the link provided by her if you would like.

I am being serious here.

I'm missing something.

Maybe I haven't read it right.

How does a little plastic egg wiht a little toy in it cost £250.

 

It's £250 for 112 of them

The cost is the total including postage to send any of the gifts to all of the children that the site helps.

Sorry Vikki didn't make everything clear, she's a young lady who started the site a few years ago after being bedridden with M.E and realised that people like her would appreciate being kept in touch with the outside world, and often tires when typing messages.
