Hi everyone, those that know me know that I am petrified of heights, so I have decided to book a skydive for Monday 28th August to raise as much money as I can for the Montego Bay Autism Centre in Jamaica.

On my last visit to Jamaica, my friend took me to this school where she volunteered for a couple of months in 2016, and it really saddened me to learn that out there, there is no support from the Government for these children. The centre is run by a lovely couple from New York who have lived out in Jamaica for the last 8 years. They were telling me in great detail how they have individually helped each child, & how they couldn't have done it without the help of their volunteers and fundraising events. This is then when I thought, what can I do to help, & what would hopefully raise the most amount of money to help fund them, so I figured that if I do something extremely terrifying, hopefully people will want to pay more for this?!

Below I have written out the project list which I received from the centre (and I am sure you will agree that some of the items are (especially to us) very small)

Removal of stones

Rubber mulch for playground area

Construct brick wall

Fence play area

Construct a sensory gym, including therapeutic equipment

Leisure bench around tree

Stepping stones from playground to lunch area, & office to lunch area

Large trampoline

Basketball hoop

Shingles for roof

Musical instruments

Re-paint desks, chairs, & cubbies

Computers for each classroom

Hot stove

Deep fryer

Blender

Pot set

Iron & ironing board

Large cutting board

Top soil

Watering can

Large laminating machine

Various office supplies

Large printer

PA system

My goal is to raise funds more for the larger items, and possibly collect any unwanted or gifted items for the smaller ones.

I thank anyone who has taken the time to read this, and please, if you have gotten this far, any donation large or small will be greatly received.

P.s I must be out of my mind!!
