Monthly donations give financial stability and help take the worry off the wonderful volunteers.

"Me too Bev. I like to pay my mail recovery costs as I mail the parcels, as my memory is rubbish if I leave things too long. I think we can all admit to feeling the pinch in this tempestuous period of time. "
"Thank you for this update Andrea, much appreciated. Disapointing figures and sad for Ronda, the gogos, as well as the children. Hopefully the next quarter will be better. Fingers crossed."
"I have sent a parcel last week containing 16 toys (from memory), a few hand warmers and of course, squares. Oops, and some hats gifted from my sister.
I have forgotten to 'pay my way' so I will visit the KAS shop tomorrow. I confess to not having…"

"Finances up to the end of May. News from Ronda:

Hi Andrea. For some reason I am unable to post reply on the Covid donation discussion. Sorry it has come up as a separate discussion. Hopefully you can fix it
It was a pleasure for me too, to talk to you. As the end of March approaches for my self-imposed mailing deadline, I will probably contact you again. Great work on your 2011 square contribution.
