Lorde! (Ella Yelich O'Connor) Out of the blue we were gobsmacked by her donation.
We say thanks to her and to every one of you who have given so generously with your $ and your encouragement. You will never know what a huge difference you are making in our lives and for Rhee's happiness and security.
To everyone who helped, to everyone who donated their time or services, to everyone who attended our quiz night: It was such a fun evening and just such a generous outpouring of love and support.
Thank you, thank thank you!
