Lyn - Memorial Donations - Volunteer Needed
We have received an email from Lyn's family:
Hi Christine,
I have sent this email with information you were after for making a donation on Lyns behalf, the family is struggling at the moment as they have no money, the bank has frozen their accounts and using any little money that did have to pay off the credit cards, they have no money to pay for the funeral, I am going to put it on my credit card for now as it is approx $4000.00 Aus.
We are looking for a volunteer to collect and forward donations to Lyn's family.
If would be best to make one large donation, rather than many small ones as Lyn's family is in Australia.
Email me, if interested.
Joe

Make sure to let us know who to make the checks out to. I will most certainly send money to help them.

In the mail
My check is made out to Lisa and in the mail. Thanks Lisa.
What I would like in return is to see a photo of Lyn's "Dolly Room."
She once wrote about how her living room was taken over by her doll collection and was referred to as the Dolly Room. Interesting to think of a person with so much dogged detmination having a soft spot for dolls. She WAS a living doll.
