Thanksgiving- a time for thanks

SO thanksgiving is coming up and I just wanted to let everyone know what Im doing to help a wonderful charity called the St. Germaine Children's Charity. For more info on this kind place and their mission click on the link.


Thanksgiving is a time for thanks; to be thankful of your family, your religion, your faith, your opportunities, your friends, your health and the wonders we are blessed with each day. However there are some out there who are ever so thankful for the things they have but in reality are victims of others rage and disrespect. These victims at the St Germaine Children's Charity are as young as newly borns and as old as 18. They are bright, smiling, thankful children whom are heroes to us all and particularly me, for being strong and surviving some of the most unforgiving, hurtful acts of abuse.


On Friday 19th of November 2010, I will be hosting a fully home-cooked Thanksgiving meal of about 10 or more dishes (incl. turkey, ham, potatoes etc) for several people within San Diego Community who have dedicated their time and kind donations to the Charity. I will be collecting donations at the dinner for the charity and donating it the following morning where, unlike most charities, the centre in la jolla will put the money straight into benefiting the children (and not into administration). 


In a way its yummy food and drinks and fun for donation! Some may ask- well why dont you just give the money you'd spend on the food to the children? Well its not just a dinner, its a gathering of friends who are far from their families. Its a gathering of kind people willing to give their time and money to a wonderful charity. And hopefully because of the generosity of many of the dinner guests, we will collect more than the money spent on dinner! :)


If you'd like more information on how to donate please email me at ellesset@yahoo.com or paypal it to that email! It is a wonderful charity for unlucky but heroic children! Please find it in your heart to not only be thankful for your blessings but be thankful for the strength of these children and for your capability to be able to help these children today!

  1. Congratulations on this great idea. We really hope everyone who follows your career will send an extra donation through pay pal. OH for those who don't have pay pal, can we send a check via your agency? Happy Thanksgiving.
