Dawn, you have nothing to worry about or feel bad about - you gave your time and energy to do something for others, and no one should have a go at you or anyone else over the money, it is not squandered, it can be used for good work done by Donna's site helping others. Anyone who says there is a problem, is a jealous halfwit who wouldn't know kindness and compassion for others if it came up and smacked them in the face, which is what they deserve for the upset they have tried to cause. Keep up the good work, Dawn, and stay the same as you always are, a true good Samaritan and friend to all. Liz x

Dawn, I don't see that you or Donna or in fact anyone else needs to explain your actions. Some poor person, who is in need of our pity, made some silly allegations the other night. I didn't see one person support that person. I feel sorry for whoever it is because something is lacking in them, it's not normal behaviour. So please get on with your good works and try not to take to heart the ramblings of an obviously disturbed person. Susan xx

Dawn, like everyone who saw that dreadful thread the other night I was horrified at the vitriol that came from 1 person who obviously was not brave enough to use his/her own name. I've just recently come back as a paid member to the site after 2 years because of similar sorts of things that went on back then. A lot of people were hurt by a few who made accusations behind assumed names. The dictionary defines Charity as, 1 The giving of help, money etc to those in need, 2 organization for doing this, ( as far as I can see that's you Dawn) 3 the money etc given. 4 Love, kindness, 5 disposition to think kindly of others. It seems to me you and Donna have fulfilled all that and more. There's nothing there that says you have to have a big flash office and spend a fortune of the money folk give to help others on 'admin etc' like some of the 'Big Charities' do or be issued with a number. Keep up your good work and don't let 1 sad jealous person spoil everything you do. Daphne xxx

Daphne, Thank you for that description. I think that just about covers it all so Donna and team, please carry on with the good work and I hope the donation comes in handy. Thank you Dawn for arranging the game. Jacky :-))))

Well said Joy - no one should have to justify themselves - the doubters will always find an excuse and the best policy is to ignore.

Dawn, as you may know, I have not had internet connection at home since the beginning of January, so I have no idea what has been happening. I agree with others' posts that you do not need to justify yourself. I like to use the following as my signature sometimes:- Be true to yourself and believe in what you do and stick to it. Never explain - your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Dawn...stop worrying now! Why take any notice of a complete idiot!!? Nanna-Moo ;-)))

Dawnie, No one would question your honesty. As 'keeper of the clock' I can certainly vouch for your sincerity and total honesty. Just keep being you - you are a lovely, caring and genuine person. Gwynne x

I cannot believe one individual has caused so much hurt to this board! As yet, I've seen no one condone what he/she said about Donna. Dawnie, you've nothing to worry about. Please don't let this get to you. :-) Think instead of all the people that you will help by organising this treasure hunt game!
