For those who know and love our dear friend Katie Deare (nee Pervan) who now lives across the Tasman in Hamilton, New Zealand. Katie a renowned yoga instructor ran a Fundraser yoga class to assist in our MegAid efforts. She has sent a cheque across and even with the exchange rate has managed to raise $235 au. A fantastic effort and we thankyou so much Katie and Alan (Katie's husband Alan has done all our graphic art work FOC for MegAid)
The letter I received along with the cheque was so heart warming I have shared it with you all here.
But more importantly I wanted to say to Katie that your love and friendship are one of the strengths which help me carry on, thankyou for being there for me when I need an ear and thanks for reminding me what the important things in life are. With big Kate Palmer hugs to you when ever you need them. Kate.P
Katie's letter follows - for those friends & locals who know and love Katie Pervan this will make you smile.
To dear Kate, well finally this gets over the ditch, the money sat in cash lining an envelope for 2 weeks, waiting on a few donations pending - then a few weeks more. Then the bank visits got few and far between with new job - Gang Warfare - I'm not sure. I do believe though that I have not seen a cheque looking like this since about 1978.
To fundraise as we did within the yoga community proved very easy. People were very keen. So we're doing it again. I'm even thinking of holding a fundraiser jumble sale straight after. This appeals to me. I get to run my own veritable OP shop for a day, something I aspire to do. So with Yoga, (and we ate good food afterwards), & old clothes, I couldn't be happier.
I'm sitting here at our dining table, it's almost 6.30am. I've dropped my yoga practice early this morning to write you this letter and get this money to you. You came to me somewhere between downward dog and trikonasana - and I went and put the kettle on instead, Resistance is pointless. I have successfully tried to get through my whole practice when my mind is saying "comeon put the kettle on n read a mag instead", but not every time.
(some more personal words of wisdom for me here. I don't think its appropriate for me to share them.)
So finally my dear friend, this picture was drawn especially for Meg by one of my students daughter. I think she has drawn her well. Your darling heart Meg who despite all the trauma has brought love and light into this world.
