Garage Sale for a Cause
I wanted to help a dear friend of mine who has a 6 months old baby girl with Congenital Heart Disease.
Aside from that, her platelet is unstable and the only option for her to get well is to have Bone Marrow Transplant ASAP.
My friend needs to raise QAR500,000 to have the operation done. And I would like to help her in whatever way I can and to help save her only daughter.
I thought of having a garage sale of old stuffs / toys /gadgets etc. and the sale will go straight to her baby's fund. Is there anyone who have done Garage Sale anywhere? was it successful?
Any other suggestions/ideas that you have in mind to help me raise small amount to help the family?
Your thoughts / Reply will be very much appreciated.
A noble thought. Coxtown gavve some great ideas. I would also suggest contacting the authorities and asking for help..
Good luck!
Why you need that much money?
IF your friend is in Doha, goto Hamad and the baby girl would be treated Free, only have to pay room and medicine charges which are nominal.
Thanks for your comment. I will keep you posted.
God Bless!
Many Thanks to your suggestions...
My reply to your suggestions.
1) I hope that my plan of Garage Sale will be successful with the help and prayer of kindhearted people like you
2) I will try to open a bank account for her. Will check which bank is better.
3) I am not that familiar with the organisations around here. Will do searching.
4) I will post the address and my contact number once we have a place to stock all our items for sale.
5)I will repost my forum in QL from time to time
6) Your contribution is very much welcome. May God Bless You and your family.
Let people come and join this initiative.............We have stuffs that can be helpful to get the garage Sale......Let me know the place where I have to get the products.....
Your appeal has touched my heart and hope many are in line. I appreciate the intiative u r showing for a noble cause. May the almighty Allah be with you through out your efforts to save the baby and to comfort the parents.
Couple of suggestions :-
1)Garage sale is always successful when it comes for a real cause, the donations would be more than what you expect.
2)Open a separate bank account under the babys name so that the donors can directly send their contributions.
3)Approach social /cultual organisations, clubs, service centres, schools etc., they may extend their help.
4)You can provide your address / contact # so that the donors can reach your place to donate may be with materials which you can pool and add to your garage sale
5)Undoubtedly there are hundreds of QL readers who will come to your rescue, trust them, spread the message.
6)give me a chance to share my contributions.
End note : May god bless you and your team.
God bless you
