Overwhelmed

What can I say? Just... thank you. That seems so simple, but really, thank you. I never in a million years could have guessed that we could raise so much for the Caring Canines charity, and that the offers for Ernie could be so generous.

I am just... overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity. Thanks especially to Elise in MA USA who donated $500 - a wonderful amount! The Charity will be able to do so much with such an incredible amount.

This was a powerful reminder of all the good that is out there. Such amazing people who are willing to help those around them, even if they've never met.

I’ve had so much fun with this fundraiser that I will certainly look forward to the next one.

Last but not least is Ernie. One of a kind, approx 12" tall.

Ernie has been donated to a charity called 'Caring Canines' It is a charity that is local to me. CARING CANINES is a local non-profit making voluntary group working in the community helping people of all ages to understand dogs and be confident in their company. They offer the medical profession the assistance of their assessed, vaccinated and insured pets to break down barriers and to enhance the lives of those people who miss animal companionship. People in nursing homes, school, a hospice, a hospital or a day centre. Click on the link above to learn more about the charity. I've offered to re-home Ernie for them. I'm basically looking for an adoption offer for him so I'm open to offers. The person who makes the best offer gets to adopt Ernie and to help a wonderful charity. Email me ith your offers. I will close offers for Ernie by 5pm GMT on Friday 30th November so email me your best offer if you are interested.
