Speaker: Need, in reply to Stephen Judd,
And I'm about to do it again.
This morning Rob Isaac and I went out to Refuge ( I normally go about once a week, sometimes more) and M was able to finally give me her story, that she had wanted to write.
So here it is -
I should make it clear that the reason I don't go out and actively hit up big players is that I haven't the time - I have a paying job as well. Rob and I are thinking of setting up a body so that big corporates are more willing to give us stuff, but at the moment, it's just us going around with our hands out.
Just to clarify. -
Speaker: Need, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
And so it has happened.......

I need prepay SIMS - about 20 of them, if anyone is able to help. Some of the phones we were given had expired SIMS and we need to replace them fairly quicksmart.

Has anyone got 1) a vaccuum cleaner? (This is for H who has recently had her chn removed from her custody temporarily while she gets her life together. She's moving towns to be near them, and has got a house to go it. She says it's the only thing she needs. It's not, but it's a start.)
2) board games. A wee while ago, two of the older teenagers asked for Monopoly and Scrabble, and R (12) asked for Connect 4. A couple of lovely people responded, and the games were duly delivered. They have, however, disappeared. This is a bit of an occupational hazard - it doesn't happen a great deal, and when it does, it's always small things. They're also without Wifi at the moment while Rob Isaac figures out a better way of doing things around the Internet usage (as soon as the kids got hold of the wifi password, usage went through the roof. School hols, bored kids, etc). So they're making full use of the games and having family boardgame nights. A great thing, but they're a bit stumped by lack of games, again.
If anyone has copies of these games they wish to give, please contact me.
Thanks ever so much. -
