Oct2010 HIGH TEA AND FASHION
On Friday 15th October 2010 the Zonta Club of Caboolture is holding a High Tea and Fashion Parade to benefit “Mummy’s Wish”. Bernadette Vella was fourteen weeks pregnant when she found that she had Hodgkins Lymphoma. The story of her survival and birth of her lovely daughter, Arielle, are inspirational.
She has set up the not for profit charity “Mummy’s Wish” to assist young mothers with small children who are diagnosed with life threatening Cancer.
It offers practical help in the stressful first period and then ongoing support through treatment. We know and understand what is going on, but small children do not know why Mummy suddenly is not there for a period of time. If Mummy is very ill, she is away often and sometimes leaves suddenly.
The Caboolture Zonta Club has supported “Mummy’s Wish” by purchasing toy bears into which a “cam” is inserted which has a recording of the Mother’s voice. The child can hear Mummy’s voice by just pushing a button and it is comforting during the night when Mummy is gone. We have also provided a substantial prize for their “Paint the Town Red” Ball earlier this year.
We have set aside the funds from this function to benefit this charity and their wonderful work.
Date: October 15th Time: 1pm
