fundraising po "kanadyjsku"

A local school is hosting a special spaghetti dinner and silent auction next week to raise money for a young student undergoing cancer treatments in Edmonton.

Four-year-old Clyde Weber attends Good Shepherd School's early entry program for pre-kindergarten students. He was recently diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour, school principal Lou Ann Demers-Noble said.

"Last week was his first week of radiation and this week is his first week of chemotherapy," Demers-Noble said yesterday morning. "I'm totally, totally heartbroken for the family…

"He's only four years old and he has an older brother and sister who both go to our school as well," she said. "They touch a lot of our hearts. A lot of the staff here have taught them. They're just an extremely nice family."

Looking to relieve some of the financial burden and create more opportunities for the entire family to be with Clyde as he undergoes treatment at the Stollery Children's Hospital, Good Shep decided to organize a dinner fundraising event.

"We are doing a spaghetti dinner night and silent auction," she said. "And so far the silent action items are coming in. Hopefully it will be a really big event."

1) attend the dinner with your family $20 per family (pay at the door) bring either buttered buns or a salad with a serving spoon please :),
2)donate an item(s) for the silent auction by Monday February 1st to the office at Good Shepherd School during regular school hours,

5) donate your time; call the school to see if they need volunteers to run the meal 780 799 5763,
6) ask your company if they can donate
7) Pray for this child and this family
8) pass this event onto your friends and anyone else you think may be able to help out...
To bylo naprawde cos wielkiego. Gdy oni sie biora za pomoc to jest to naprawde wielka pomoc. Cos tam nam sie udalo zlicytowac ale to trzeba bylo stac przy przedmiocie i pilnowac, bo jak sie tylko odeszlo to zaraz ktos inny przebijal...i stal i pilnowal. Nie wiemy jeszcze ile zostalo zebrane, ale z tego co widzoialam i jakie ceny osiagaly przedmioty na aukcjii i ile ludzi bylo na kolacjii to spokojnie mozna liczyc na ponad 30 tys dol.
Niech im na zdrowie wyjdzie. biedne dziecko.



Informacja z 5 marca. Suma zebrana na tej kolacjii to 65 tys dolarow. sporo ponad roczne srednie zarobki w Kanadzie. o sie nazywa Hojnosc. Generosidade. Niesamowite!
