We've been looking for a suitable charity to donate our left-over funds to. I wonder if we may have already found it. Perhaps the funds we've collected could be held in a special account to cover flowers for Heath's grave each birthday in future? Maybe we could also send a pretty little posy to Matilda on each of her birthdays in future, too. The K$1 we've collected would cover the cost for at least 5 years. Perhaps a special thread could be opened for this, allowing people to donate on an on-going basis, so we'll always have sufficient funds, way into the future.
Meryl:
Okay, I got a poll up about where to donate the funds. We've got twelve options at present, so I've asked everyone to choose three. Once we have three, we can have a final vote. S'alright? :)
Poll is here: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,17229.msg332913.html#msg332913
Aloysius J. Gleek:
I voted for three items:
Acting programs for kids in Australia
Acting programs for kids in Brooklyn
Ongoing flower fund for Heath's resting place
I agree whatever the voters choose at the end.
Thank you for the good options, Meryl!
MaineWriter:
I voted too and like John said, I'll be happy with whatever we choose. Everything on the list was a good choice.
Thanks for all your hard work, Meryl.
