Fundraising angels
Personal experience written by a friend of YOUR HEALTH
Last week, I noticed
a beautiful glittering angel dangling from Dr. Carole's cell phone. When
I inquired about where she got it, she explained that Leah, (YOUR HEALTH’s
RMT) had made them as a fundraiser in support of YOUR HEALTH Medical Mission
to Kenya. Dr. Carole explained that the clinic is planning an outreach to
bring healthcare to an orphanage and Women's centre in an underserved region
of Kenya as soon as the funds can be raised (please see information posted
in the clinic for more information). Naturally, I had to buy one in support
of this great cause. In fact, I bought two. One for myself and one to give
away to someone in need of a little boost.
The next day, I visited my sister, at her real-estate office in Mississauga. Over coffee, she told me that she was feeling a bit down, after all, business has been slow lately. A few moments later she was called away, and I thought to myself, "This is someone who needs a little boost..." I quickly jotted down a little wish for my sister for happiness and success in life, business and love! As I pinned the angel to her bulletin board, she rushed back in, exclaiming, "I just sold a house!" Stunned, I handed her the angel and the note I had written. "What a powerful little angel." she said with a laugh.
A positive thought for someone you care about can count for a lot. So, spread some angel power to someone in need! It worked for me!
YOUR HEALTH is organizing a medical mission to Kenya to assist with the Mully Children's Family (MCF). MCF’s functional Mission and Vision is to reach out, rescue, rehabilitate, protect, and care for the less fortunate and vulnerable children in the community. Through the help of Kevin Flynn (MPP, Oakville) and the Mully Children's Family Charitable Foundation, our staff will be travelling to Kenya to provide one week of care for the children the foundation works to sustain.
Since Dr. Carole is going to be having a baby in October 2010, we are unable to make the trip this year. We are planning on postponing our trip for an additional year and will hold all funds raised so far through our Angels in Africa program, and other fundraising events, until that time.
YOUR HEALTH Fundraising Angels will still be available at clinic reception for $5 each to support the clinic’s future efforts.
