A little late to the party this year, but once again my family are very pleased to be able to help someone less fortunate than us out, even if it is only a small contribution.
Payment made via direct deposit, with "Make A Wish - psychobimbo" as reference. Thanks again to those involved in making this happen: both the AFF admin team and those who have so generously contributed. Happy New Year all.

Noticed a jump from 51% to 75.67% but no comments here. Did someone make a contribution that hasn't been acknowledged yet?

Appreciate all the effort guys.
This week we have to rap the fund raising and send our funds off to MAW so Jessica can get her wish under way. I will keep you posted..

Awesome effort by the AFF members, maybe we didn't reach the target? However this contributes to making a young lady very happy
Keep us updated on Jessica's wish Spooly (Mark), keen to see how the lass goes. Cheers!

Hi Spoolman, just wondering if you have any updates on this? It would be nice to know whether Jessica's wish has become a reality and would also be cool to see the letter from MAW's CEO.
Cheers, J.D. |

Donating to 2017's MAW saved me from alcoholism. I was drinking myself to death when I first saw this thread, after reading Jessica's story - I felt ashamed that I was destroying myself despite being a healthy adult while this little girl was suffering through no fault of her own.
I wish I had been able to give more money but all the same, my small contribution was all the spare money I had after bills and prevented me from buying vodka. I hope this forum never stops supporting Make a Wish. All those who donated to this cause have my love. |

It was the turning point in my adult life. I haven't been drunk in years, I don't even drink at all because of this.
I will never forget reading that this young girl had a deep interest in WW2 history - a passion I share. I'm not afraid to admit, I have bawled my eyes out many times thinking about this... all she wanted was to go have a cookout on the beach with her 4wd hero. I think about it all the time. I'll stop now to avoid upsetting anyone. Peace to all. |
