We asked people to consider donating money to a charity in Salome's memory rather than bringing flowers to her funeral. However, we are still thinking about which charity to nominate. 3 we are thinking of are
- A local family who not only lost a baby 6 days before Salome was born, but also lost their mother, when a 29 year old woman (Amber Compton) died of heart problems, leaving 3 other little kiddies behind:
To make donations to this family, go in to a branch of the Greater Building Society and deposit into account no. 016 717 339 70. Please ask staff to attach a note saying "For Compton Family".
- SIDS and Kids, who we will be receiving services from in the future.

- Stepping Stones Nigeria, who work with children who are tortured and often murdered (buried alive, poisoned, covered in acid) because they are denounced as witches, usually by "Christian" preachers:

We'll try to make a decision within a week.
