Story

Hi all,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you all know the Caribbean has suffered utter devastation after Hurricane Irma and now Hurricane Maria is following the same path.  I feel I need to help.  I have  had the pleasure of visiting most of the islands that are being affected on various holidays over the years and I am so sad to see the impact these events are having on those beautiful places. St Maarten, the BVI's, Dominican Republic, Antigua and today Dominica are just to name a few.

We can’t comprehend what these people are going through, they have lost their livelihood, their homes, clothes, belongings and don’t have the luxury of fresh running water.  I need to help in some way, so cue another Charity Treatment Weekend, this time I will also be doing a Raffle and Home baking sale.

So I’m asking if you will help me help these people in the Caribbean, the reason I go back regularly is not just the beautiful setting but the local people who always make us feel so welcome.  We have been to Dominican Republic so many times we are classed as “locals”!

Saturday 14th October

Appointments from 10am – 4pm (8 appointments available)

Sunday 15th October

Appointments from 11am – 4pm (6 appointments available)

So what’s on offer?

This time hot stones is back!   Here are your treatment options:  

·         25 minute Hot Stones Back Massage

·         25 minute Hot Stones Leg and Foot Massage

·         25 minute Swedish BN&S Massage

·         25 minute Swedish Leg and Foot Massage

·         25 minute Reiki Treatment

All I ask from you is to give me a minimum £10 donation for your treatment, the rest you leave to me to ensure you leave feeling relaxed.

What else do I have on offer…

Charity raffle… 

As a Neal’s Yard Representative I can offer some gorgeous Neal’s Yard products, gift vouchers for a treatment, there might even be the odd bottle of wine. £2.00/ticket

** If you can’t attend and still want to take part in the raffle, I can pick out a raffle ticket for you and deliver your prize (you need to be local I’m afraid!).

Homebaking Sale….

I’m sure my mum and I can create some tasty delights, all I ask is for you to donate for any baking you wish to take home.

I’ve set up this Just Giving Page linked to the P& O Cruises UNICEF fundraising page, so you have the option to donate online for the above or if just want to donate some spare pennies you have I would really appreciate it.  Any donation will help :-)

I love doing days like this, I find it really rewarding to help other people or in general just make people feel better – it’s good for my soul.   I believe I am very blessed in my life,  I have a wonderful husband, lovely family and friends, good health, a roof over my head, food in my fridge and clothes on my back.  This makes me truly lucky and I appreciate every part of my life and journey, there are people out there not so fortunate so if I can just help a little bit then I have done my part.

So I appreciate all of you that help me in my charity events, this one is just really close to my heart.

So all that leaves me to say is, get booked in – I won’t disappoint!  And share my just giving page, let’s see how much a local gal can make for this worthy cause!

Namaste,

Gillian
