When Karuna approached me and asked if I would mind sharing our story as part of the June fund raiser I did so with no hesitation. Anything I could do that might help Karuna help other families was absolutely something I was pleased and honoured to do.
Writing ‘What If We Came Home’ was both difficult and easy for me. Difficult because it touched a place in my heart that still grieves intensely but easy because it meant that I could, in some small way acknowledge the amazing gift that Karuna had given us.
Your response and generosity to this story has been overwhelming and together we have provided resources and funds that will help to support Karuna’s work into the future.
For all your kindness and donations I wish to thank you all. Knowing that together we have provided caring and assistance for people during their darkest and most difficult hours keeps that light shinning in my heart.
Since I last wrote to you, I have become involved in organizing another fundraising event to support Karuna and I would like to invite you all to be a part of it. On September 22nd my friends and I have organised an afternoon of music and entertainment at Southbank.
Admission is free, so do look out for the flyer that will be coming your way soon. Everyone who attends will be given the opportunity to make a donation if they wish. Every cent raised as part of this concert will go to Karuna.
So please try to make time to join us and relax, enjoy wonderful music and share in a special celebration of caring and support.
Please mark 22nd September in your diary (from 1pm to 5pm at QPAC Southbank). I look forward to seeing you there, and once again, thank you for opening your hearts and responding so wonderfully to the June appeal.
