Taylor

  • Closing This Page - Final Update

      24 April 2017

    So, I received a call from a friend of Taylor's mother asking me to close Taylor’s give a little page and give the money back. I had already decided to do this before the call as it seemed unlikely Taylor was going to make it to the dentist in the short term. I believe there are too many distractions in her life at this time. They are grateful for the support, but felt we were unlikely to accomplish our give a little objectives given existing circumstances.

    The phone call advised that Taylor (and her partner) are not exactly homeless and may have a state home, also the family has been helping and supporting Taylor including attempts to get her teeth fixed.

    To clarify, in my many meetings with Taylor I have never asked of her circumstances, just the single focus of helping her with her teeth.

    Give a little will be contacting everyone that has donated to refund their money or to donate to the City Mission, with who I've had a lot of interaction over the last months.

    Had Taylor scheduled for the dentist today and was hopeful of a result. Unfortunately, when I caught up with her she asked to reschedule. She said she'd fallen in the weekend, bumped her head and had to go to hospital by Ambulance. She said she has 5 stitches and wasn't feel to good. Also, caught up with Taylor's Social worker at the City Mission. Obviously she couldn't tell me anything about Taylor, but it was good to share this story with her and not to be told we're wasting our time.

    We've reschedule the dentist for Wednesday week. I'll keep you posted.

    Photo from Saturday, we stopped by to share a late lunch.

    Hoping Taylor will meet us today for her first visit to the dentist. many thanks to Dr Karen Harris at the City Dental Lounge, Level 12 AMP building, Customs St.

    We have a shower and clean clothes for Taylor, so hoping she makes it. My daughters have joined the project to help Taylor, so we all caught up in Queen St Sunday afternoon.

    Update to update 14:00. The dentist had to cancel due to illness. I caught up with Taylor at lunch today and while disappointed she understands.
