Your help please

Ok, back to the robbery at TLC,
Pippa is the daughter of Thea (the lady who set up TLC) she lives on site with her 2 adopted boys. She left a letter on her website with the following plea for help.

"Dear Friends,
My cottage was robbed AGAIN! The night before last. They took the entire lounge suite, my bed, fridge, microwave and kids mattresses)! It has left me and everyone feeling very vulnerable and fearful. This has precipitated the need to share with you a great and exciting plan but under fairly urgent and (I'll admit) slightly panicked emotions!

We would like to build a solid and secure wall around the premisis, 1 meter at a time, with a space on each wall for the sponsor to put a little reminder of themselves on it. Volunteers could buy a section and put something personal on it, families could make one for their babies, sponsors could help us make one for each deceased baby and over time we would have a great wall containg 100's of special memories. This would serve to make TLC safer and more special for the babies who returned later to take a walk round the perimeter and see all those who were special to us and those who had been instrumental in helping them to live!

I think it's a great idea, I'm just sorry it has to be announced with this much urgency. Our current volunteers are already trying to drum up some support for it back home and we are letting as many people as possible know. Each 1meter section (2.2meters high) will cost R1000 (about $150 US)

Please encourage everyone you know to support this project. Life in SA is unpredictable and fairly scary at the best of times, but when you are constantly under attack, it makes life a lot harder.

I know I don't get on here much to write and I know many of you don't really know me, but I do see each of you - in our life here at TLC you are all the reason we can do this work, it is a partnership and while I don't communicate it to you - I appreciate you and am conscious everyday that while my hands are here doing the work - I am working for all of you as well, fulfilling a little of your hearts desire everyday.

Thanks

Pippa"

So as you can see, they are in desperate need for more security. Its not only to protect Pippa and her family but also to protect the babies at TLC.
thea left this message:

"My heart is for keeping TLC safe and any spare pennies you have can be added to this wall project. We will have to give it all our energy now because this is the third attack in a short space of time and I am afraid they won't stop now that they have noticed our weaknesses. We can't have them breaking down all our hard work."

PLease, help, if you can spare any money, of even if you want to fundraise, send me an email jen_pyper@hotmail.com and I'll be mroe than happy to give you more details

please help them keep the litttle angels of South Africa safe.

thank you

Update on my babies!

Hey
This is an update about the baies in South Africa which I received the other day.

Africa
Laura
Helena
Philipa
Julie
Nolunthandu (Nolu)

These babies have all gone to a new home!! Philipa and Julie went to their biological gran and Nolunthandu went to back to her biological mum!

Oliver was meant to be going to a new home but he developed bronchitus so is still at TLC recovering, he should hopefully be going home soon though

Skye and Rhila have been moved up to the next age group 'fledgings'! They are all growing up!!

Melinda, Gatsha and Jolene all seem to be doing really well which is so great!

Its so odd, I still really miss my babies! I think I will end up going back at some point, even if its just a visit.

Cant wait to get my password and login for the 'My Family' website, I really want to find out all the updates!

On a bad note, there has been 2 break-ins at TLC, the home of Pippa was burgled and practically everything was taken, including the matresses! Since then there has obviously been a lot more security, including an armed guard!! Scary!

Thea is still travelling round Europe and actually saw Helena in her new home, she seems to have settled in really well!
Anyway best be off

Update soon when I have more news

Jen
