Cute and cuddly right! We should support The Greyhound Sanctuary to keep them this way…

Hello, I would firstly like to thank you for taking an interest in my blog. I am advocating The Greyhound Sanctuary, a small charity with one aim in mind. To rescue and rehome abandoned, abused or unwanted greyhounds.

The dogs they help are often found in poor conditions, and only pull through because of the care that The Greyhound Sanctuary can give to them.  Tens of thousands of dogs are disposed of every year by the British greyhound racing industry - because they fail to meet the standards as racers or when their racing days are over. Bobbi was one of these. She had been suffering and tolerating pain and hunger ever since her owner abandoned her. Her left hip was severely broken and she was so thin and weak that she was not able to go on pain killers. Bobbi was too weak to even wag her tail and was quite bewildered. Her broken and battered body had endured too much and she suffered a heart attack one day which took her.

Why should you care?

The charity  recently started in 2007, and is only able to run because of generous donations given by those who care. As more dogs are rescued, they need more money to continue running and to continue to aid these loyal dogs. Please help them by giving a donation.

Please visit the website www.thegreyhoundsanctuary.org for more information and to donate.

Firstly, I would love it if you could leave some feedback or a comment about my blog

-    Had you ever heard of The Greyhound Sanctuary before?

-    Do you now feel more informed about The Greyhound Sanctuary?

-    Would you now consider donating to The Greyhound Sanctuary in the future?

-    Would you now tell your friends to support The Greyhound Sanctuary?

I would once again like to thank you for reading!

Cystic fibrosis - get it off your chest

Firstly I would like to thank you for taking some of your time to visit my blog.  I’m Eleanor and trying to help young people with Cystic Fibrosis is something I feel very strongly about. When you have read my blog I hope you will feel more informed about cystic fibrosis and what the cystic fibrosis trust does.

I have three main aims for my blog, these are;

• To raise awareness of the charity and what they do
• To encourage you to support my foundation- The cystic Fibrosis trust.
• To try and get you to change your behaviour towards the trust.

So what is the Cystic fibrosis trust?

The trust is an organisation that was established in 1955 by a group of parents who were dedicated to trying to find a cure for their children who they had to watch slowly dying. Since then drastic developments have been made and they are moving ever-closer to developing a cure. To find out more about the Cystic fibrosis trust please visit their website: http://www.cff.org/

What is cystic fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder, in which the body produces large amounts of sticky mucus that clogs up the lungs and the pancreas. It leads to chronic lung infections and loss of lung function. This may leave the person unable to breathe. Cystic fibrosis is the UK’s most common inherited life-threatening disease. Every week at least ten children under 12 die of cystic fibrosis.

Zoe Ose is an adorable little girl with a captivating smile and big, beautiful eyes that are bursting with the passion, joy and innocence of a child who is just beginning to discover the wonder of the world around her. Zoe is also a little girl living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease that complicates an otherwise carefree childhood and threatens to rob her of the very life that she so passionately enjoys. When she was first diagnosed, Zoe had a feeding tube in her nose that was used to feed high-calorie formula directly in to her stomach and help her grow quickly. Scott and Jada recall that they rarely slept in the three months that Zoe had the tube feedings — for fear that the tube might come out or get tangled around Zoe as she slept. They stayed close by her all night to make sure that Zoe got every precious drop of the nutrition that she needed. Now thanks to Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Zoe is living a fun-flied life that she craved so much.

However like any organisation they are not able to carry on with their vital research without donations, even the smallest amount can make an enormous difference to the progress of this project.  We should be donating if we can, if you were given the chance to save a life would you take it? This is your chance!

So please consider supporting the trust, because if you don’t care…who will? It’s not just the trust who needs your donations; it’s the thousands of people who die from cystic fibrosis every year.

Thank you so much again for reading my blog. Please now take some time to post me a response with your thoughts on my blog and about CF. It would be particularly great if you could write some words in response to the following questions. Further details about the ideas below are available on their website; http://www.cff.org/

1. Had you heard about the disease and the problems it causes?
2. Do you now feel more informed about the problems faced by those with cystic fibrosis?
3. Would you now be prepared to do any of the following to help improve the lives of people with cystic fibrosis…?

• Make a donation to The cystic fibrosis trust
• Start or join a fund raising campaign
• Volunteer  to help make a difference to people’s lives
• Support the cystic fibrosis foundation every time you use eBay
• Tell your family and friends about Cystic fibrosis trust and get them to help out in any of the ways above?

If you do post a response, please can you tell me where you come from i.e. country or home town.

Many thanks
Eleanor

Help MATCH stop tearing our families apart!

Hi I’m Anneliese,

Thank you for sharing your interest with my blog! MATCH stands for ‘mothers apart from their children’ they work together as a voluntary organisation, to help families and their children reunite.

However, in order for MATCH to help others and their families out, they need our help. All we have to do is support MATCH by maybe donating a few pounds and signing up to their charity. They need our help because without it many other families’ hearts are breaking and MATCH can do nothing without extra funding but to sit back and watch them suffer.

 

After divorce, major arguments amongst parents can happen. Children may be adopted, or even abducted. Families are stuck, sometimes mothers can’t look after them properly, and this is where MATCH comes in.

With our help, MATCH can visit families and find out what has happened by asking a few questions. They may send mothers on a few courses to make sure that they will be fit enough to become a mother again. If mothers have been violent in the past and physically abused another member of the family, usually the children cannot live with her, but go on to live with another relative.

At the end of the day, all children deserve an equal right to live the same way as others like you and I. MATCH believes it’s important for them to be in a loving, nurturing family network for life, no matter how many times that the family re-makes itself, no matter where their mothers live.

Thank you very much for taking you time to read this. Please can you now spare a moment to answer these questions:

• Had you heard of MATCH before?
• Do you now feel more informed about what MATCH do?
• Would you now be prepared to do any of the following things to help improve the lives of children suffering family dilemmas?

1. Make a donation to ‘MATCH’?
2. Start or join a FUND raising campaign?
3. Tell your friends and family about MATCH and try to persuade them to help out in any ways above?

If you kindly post a response, may you please tell me where you are from i.e. your home town and country (if not UK!)

It just takes a loving heart to make small donations which therefore achieves major differences. Visit http://www.matchmothers.org/ and go to donate, your money donated will go towards making every child in need of a family happy.

After all it shouldn’t hurt to be a child.

Thank you for your co-operation
Anneliese.
