Hi there, hows it going? I hope you have had a good week. Thank goodness its the weekend   time for a slower pace if life. Things have been a little exhausting lately, but im getting there. More about this another time, we have more pressing matters!

My last posts have been about raising awareness and funds to help a young lady in Kenya. I posted an update on the situation for all those who missed that.

So the moment you all been waiting for the results of the giveaway. I  want to thank all those people who have taken part and those who took an interest. Im sure I speak for Penny too, when i say with out your your help we would not even be close to paying of this bill. So thank you so much indeed!!!

I will continue to provide regular updates on my blog regarding the situation, has it develops, and hope she will be home real soon.

update

Just wanted to stop by and thank those who took part in my give a craft, give a donation. For those who said they wanted to donate,  its not to late.  My friend penny updated me regarding the situation with the lady in Kenya. If you missed my last post her is a link read the story here. http://snapthatpenny.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-sad-story.html

The situation is to date is that part of  her bill is paid thanks to your donations  but not cleared. This means for the lady in question she is not allowed leave the hospital untill the bill is fully cleared.  The amount roughly and dont quote untill I speak to Penny is just over £200.00. This amount is keeping this lady from going home to her family and her other child at home.

 I dont know about you, but if you ever been away from your child its very hard. When I had a misscarige being away from home was hard, but my husband was able to visit. The emotional side to losing a child never goes away you always grieve. The family were able to to with help a bit of help, able to organise a  funeral for the baby, the sad part the mother was not allowed to attend because of this hospital bill situation, how sad indeed. If you want to donate please do so by contacting Penny for details  kerichojoy@gmail.com

I will be sending again soon another  donation from my own pocket I feel I must do everything I can do to help. Lastly the giveaway winner will be announced next week Friday. if you are quick you might still be able to enter to win these goodies. Good luck xxx
