"Any up date on the truck/pick up plans for Orphanage?

Was wondering any updates.Amanda mentioned the children have only one blanket and bedding is much needed.I unsuccessfully tried to fit a duvet in to my case when we came out to Pamps but did not have room.If it is def going ahead I thought of asking at work to see if I could get some duvets/pillows donated.I don't want to start until I know I can get it out to the Orphanage.

re:

Marrianne, thank you for offering your help.

On another thread Pete asked everybody to send their location and postcode and phone no. as we have a haulage company that MAY be able to help us, when and if they have available space.

Please email me your details.

Thank you. Smile

Is there any reason why the company Pearl Property who Amanda works for cannot supply the container. They do advertise a weekly container service door to door to Bulgaria, for a fee of £3.400 for a 40ft container. Google into their website. F.V.

We are in no position to fork out £3,400 FV but if it were donated - we'd snap their hands off.

Yes they do provide this service and Amanda would do it at cost if we had the funds. Amanda and Doug already pay £100 s from their own pockets for these kids.

I would be more than happy to offer this for cost and i have mentined that the fee would be 2400 sterling however even at cost, this money would be better donated to the heating fund. We never have a lorry that comes back with room free or i would have offerered this.

Hi Amanda

Just asked Andie how you and the boys are? Did the operation go well?

We all agree that there's no need to waste funds. Don't worry, I'm sure there's a FREE lorry for us out there. Very Happy Very Happy
