“The most valuable asset is not a head full of knowledge. But a heart full of love, with an ear ready to listen and a hand willing to help.”
From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank each and every one of you for your generosity in donations, auction items, enthusiasm and kind words. Every email, comment, text, and message is circulated around our family and we cherish every single word that is written about Melanie and our family’s determination to realize Mel’s project and vision.
Organizing a fundraiser and silent auction was one way we believed we, with the help of all of you, could raise money for Global Mamas. One of Mel’s many amazing abilities was fundraising and organizing successful events to help spread awareness and raise money for organizations and companies that she believed in. When she believed in something she made us all believe. Her uncanny way of creating excitement out of a small idea led to huge successful events. She knew how to involve anybody who was willing to lend a hand, to find joy in the smallest of tasks, to bring a crowd with her, and to have this crowd just as excited as she was about succeeding. She was a leader, and she still is.
As a family, this fundraiser is such a small way that we can contribute and help Global Mamas raise the funds that they need for the Fair Trade Zone to be built, and we couldn’t do it without you. We are thrilled that you all will be there to help us achieve Mel’s goal and with her lead, we know that it will happen!
Love,
Wayne, Diane, Shannon, Danielle, Jay, John, Nathan, Emma & Sloan
