 High Tea for Raquel - a note from Gemma I want to share the story of another recent fundraiser we were involved in. It is very close to my heart and it demonstrates the remarkable difference that one person can make. Raquel is the close friend of another friend of mine, Lan. In Lan's words "Raquel is currently recovering from quadruple by-pass surgery. Prior to this Raquel had a double organ transplant as a result of her diabetes; not soon after her new organs were damaged because a pharmacist got her medication wrong; a few years later Raquel was diagnosed with breast cancer; all these along with other health issues and complications. You would think that with all these happening to her Raquel would be angry and looking for someone to blame, BUT NO! She stays positive right through. Not only that, she always finds the time to help others. In a few words, Raquel is positive, strong and selfless. When I initially brought up my fundraising idea she told me that there were others more deserving. This time around, I merely told her as a courtesy and have gone ahead with it." Lan organised a high tea for her friend and raised over $10 000!!! We were inspired and humbled by Lan's intentions and actions and we were thrilled to be involved. One person REALLY can make a difference! |
