The target was £1,650.00. The aim was to make this happen - from us to them. Not only did each of you make "this happen" - but you also added so much more so abundantly! The final total (confirmed by JustGiving last night) is £1,802.00 - loud applause all round! And ALL your money will get to Senay and Nuran (via JustGiving, then through Western Union, to their Fethiye office, and into "crisp YTL notes" that Senay will collect) around 20th of this month. I am left with one thought: When your head says you can't - your heart can disagree. Because when your head is talking about love - that changes things. Love changes us and love changes things. You did, we did, and they have. That's love at work. Thank you all ((hugs))

Wow!! Two days to go and Kev/Lesley take the total to £1,792.00. So a week this Friday, JustGiving release the money. If each pledge is collected: Friday 20th December - Senay, Nuran and their family pick-up YTL 7,755 (at todays Western Union rate) from the WU Fethiye office.

The total is now £1,762.00 - wow! Dennis, Anon, Susie and Neil ... all those not mentioned in these updates ... Wowsers ... Thank You ... Brilliant! ... Any one else feel totally humbled and totally proud at the same time?

SMALL PRINT: JustGiving will take money pledged from your account on/around 7th December. The total is transferred to me in £s - how much will that be in another 2 weeks? I transfer all the money to Senay (to a Western Union, Fethiye, office). Senay picks up the cash YTL (lira).
