Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Any of you who know us both friends and family, know how truly blessed we have been with three happy healthy children and with the blessing that we have received we wish to bless others. &nbsp;For Judes' and Kirstens' first birthday's we had invited our friends and family to a birthday party to celeabrate their first year with us and now that Chlo&eacute; has just turned one we would like to do the same. &nbsp;</p> <p>We had asked our guests to not buy any presents as our children have so many toys, but instead if they feel they wanted to give something perhaps they could make a donation to Vision Africa a very worth while charity. &nbsp;Everyone was very generous and we thank them for this, &nbsp;the money went to help the new St Andrew's Baby Unit at Kandara Childrens Home in Kenya. &nbsp;But at the minute with the famine in East Africa, the greatest need in Kenya is FOOD.&nbsp;</p> <p>Any money donated through this page will go to support Vision Africa's already running feeding programs that are currently struggling due to rising food prices.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you so much for your support!</p> <p>Tracey &amp; Matthew Kennedy</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
