...More sad
news... Doug Jones, one of
our regular supporters & donors passed away 20th March, 2013.
We will miss this fine chap he had many attributes , never
mentioning the trials and tribulations of life just enduring
or enjoying them. Our thoughts are with his children and their
families. Doug's daughter Angie has is in the vanguard of
continuing the families support for DREAMCATCHER and Doug and his
family have donated £300 the entire proceeds of Doug's
funeral collection. In a time of deep sadness their selflessness
brings hope & joy to children.....what special
people!!!!!
It does not seem
long ago Doug shared with us his birthday celebrations and his
family were donating donations of monetary gifts he received for
his 90th birthday! So his legacy will live on!
Some very sad news! Stan Croft, one of our
regular supporters & donors passed away 1st February,
2013. We will miss this great fella immensely and our
thoughts are with his wife Midge and his family....but you cannot
subdue his fundraising efforts as Midge has picked up the baton and
is continuing their support and Midge and the family have donated
£328.13p towards DREAMCATCHER from Stan's funeral
collection. In a time of deep sadness their selflessness
brings hope & joy to children.....what wonderful
people!!!!!
2012 has truly been a wonderful year for
DREAMCATCHER CHILDREN's charitable fund set up to improve the lives
of sick and disadvantaged children....Thanks to the very many
generous donations and fundraising activities supporting
Dreamcatcher, we have managed to brighten the lives of many
children in the Shropshire and Mid Wales area, there are really too
many people to thank for their efforts, donations and support but
you know who you are...
A special mention must go to Helena Jones who
gave £150 of her 16th birthday money, a truly selfless act.... also
Esme Ramsden has donated £266 after a sponsored silence, what
a fabulous effort and donation to DREAMCATCHER.
Sarah Hodnett and family from Beauty by Sarah at
Pensfold Shopping centre Gains Park who made a substantial donation
from an evening of beauty treatments celebrating Sarah's first year
in business
Esme is an inspiration to us all at the age of 5
she was diagnosed with brain cancer and has had her trials and
tribulations since.
Now a teenager at college Esme recalls " I
suffered from brain cancer at the age of 5 and Dreamcatcher sent me
and my family to Paris Disneyland for a week! I would like to give
something back for all this charity has done for me"
Thank you Esme and Helena we are humbled by
your kind thoughts ,actions and donations you are truly great
examples of a caring and thoughtful selfless young people ....and
terrific role models for your generation
Doug Jones of Shrewsbury donated the entire
proceeds of his 90th birthday party totalling over £600 instead of
having gifts he asked for donations to Dreamcatcher...an
exceptional and generous gesture!
Dreamcatcher's many fundraising proceeds
from such events as the 'Three Men and a Bow tie' evening in the
Spring and the Mount Kilimanjaro climb has allowed us to help many
children and their families culminating in December when over
150 folk made up of children and their families from the
Shropshire and Mid Wales area enjoying a day out on the 'Santa
Special' with the Welshpool and Llanfair Caereinion railway as
hosts and we have not forgotten those less fortunate than us
worldwide and have managed to improve the lives of children in the
Orphanage of Grace and Love in Yangon Burma, where a donation has
helped them fix a toilet pipe so that the children no longer
have to carry pails of water from the well , they also have a new
bicycle to collect provisions from the market and a battery
to assist with power when the many electricity outtages
occur
So thank you for your kind support and generosity
in brightening the lives of children near and far. In these
days of doom and gloom and recession there is a shining light of
hope for humanity that kindness and selflessness is still evident
in abundance and we look forward to 2013
