Still no decision on who to give donations to

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

1. 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".

1. SIDS and Kids, who we will be receiving services from in the future.

1. 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.
