For anyone who is interested in donating to a very worthy cause (and one of my favourite charities) I have edited and pasted an email I received today:
Double the impact of your gift - double match grant challenge

Now through Friday, 23 August, your donation can have twice the impact! We've been challenged with an unlimited match grant offer. Some of our major supporters recently reached out to me and, after seeing Pinki at Wimbledon, they wanted to do what they could to give more children second chances at normal lives. They challenged our Smile Train family to help twice as many children by matching donations!

Because what's better than giving a child life–changing cleft surgery? Giving two children life–changing cleft surgery.
But you have to hurry, the match will only be good through Friday, 23 August. Please help us make the most of this challenge and help two times as many children receive the free cleft surgery they need.

Thank you for your support,
Susannah Schaefer

Hope is not a strategy :D...A child is for life, not just 18 years....Don't get me started on the NHS, because you won't win...I love chaz-ing!
