Elizabeth's Eternal Trust
Everyone has always asked me why the Trusts don’t exist in real life like in my books? And I thought, why not? Good question! Together with Christy Pritchard and Jordie Howes, we are setting up a GoFundMe site to raise money for children living in poverty or in a home. Often, through no fault of their own, a child is taken from an abusive situation and placed in community homes until foster parents can be found. Many are frightened, scared, and belligerent. Defensive at what may happen to them next. They feel alone and isolated. We want them to know they are not alone and that somebody cares.
Our target for Elizabeth’s Eternal Trust is to share the funds raised to deliver every child a Christmas gift and card to know they are being thought of. It may not seem much to us, but it would be huge for them. It would be something directly theirs. There is nothing worse than being dropped at a foster family a week before Christmas and having nothing to open. Or being in a care home and not receiving a present.
Our second target is to be able to supply a care home/shelter with a gift card to help buy clothing and necessities for those children. Having your own bottle of deodorant makes an enormous difference to a child’s pride. Or new PJ’s, new shoes and not hand-me-downs.
And our third target is to raise funds to donate to the shelters to provide counselling, buddy networks, and improve properties, such as new bedding or a new TV. Perhaps we could help sponsor a child safety phone line. Perhaps even put some money towards a scholarship. Let’s aim high.
And our final goal will be announced in August/September with a PO Box number for you to send cards to, so we can include them in the packages.
We may not be able to make the Eternal Trust in my books come real yet, but we can begin somewhere. So let’s make that start today and give a wounded child hope and a future. As Phoe says in my books, even five bucks can make a difference. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all in advance.
