Great fund raising effort for animals caught in Bush Fires




Popped into town this morning and saw a big table set in front of a flower shop. Lots of posters like this plastered on the shop windows.
Manning the table were a young teenager and his Dad, selling cakes the young guy had made himself, proceeds going to help the poor animals caught in the ongoing Australian Bush Fires disaster.
 I chatted to Dad who said his son had made all the cakes in two sessions after school. I think it would have taken me at least two days!

What a great young man, nice to see his Dad supporting him too. I found it hard to choose ones to buy, all the cakes looked delicious and very well made. I hope he did well, he deserved it. Everyone was stopping to buy and all saying they didn’t want any change so I think he might have raised a good amount.

My choice , slices of Chocolate Brownie Cake.

 

Came home with a real Feel Good factor, how good it felt to see a young chap determined to do his bit to raise money to help animals suffering at the other end of the world.

  3. Hope the lad did well with his fund raising - it's tragic to hear about the animals killed or injured in the fires.
