You know  you have something really special when you ask for help and you get everything you need and then some.

Yesterday afternoon I posted about my want to  raise much needed funding for the medical ward, that Ivy stayed in on a regular basis.

24 hours later we are just $410 from reaching the halfway mark to the goal I set.

That is SO amazing.

YOU are amazing

and I want you all to know that I am so thankful for everyone who reached out, who donated, who linked us up.

I would be grateful if you kept on doing what you’re doing.

I have a few things to show you, things you can take, if you want;

to help me keep things moving.

The gorgeous Vanessa has made two wonderful blog buttons for sidebars.

Aren’t they wonderful?

The code for the pink Team Ivy is:

I would love it if you would put it up on your blog.

The amazing Liz made this:

which is going to take pride of place anywhere I can think to put it.

You can have it too, if you want it.

Thank you girls!

I am humbled by you both.

A very special thank you to  Laura who donated an amazing photo shoot for the first local person who donated over $120.

It was won very early on!

Congratulations to Mel!

The fundraising is set to end in September.

I am trying to organise some events and more photography shoots, the big kids’ high school came on board this afternoon, with a mufty day next term and they are also going to be selling Team Ivy wrist bands (which I’ll order soon).

Until then,

all I can say is thank you.

I admire all of you,

I love you as a community

and I appreciate every single thing that you have done for us and the little medical ward.
