You know by now that I've been busy raising money for the Kempen Clothing Bank so they can buy gifts. These gifts will then go into the gift packages they give away, allowing their customers to give their children gifts for the holidays.

Finally, everyone is now curious to know how much we have raised....

DRUMROLL

In total (including offline donations), we raised €207 , which is enough to buy quite a few gifts. Tabitha and Ingmar keep their client files safe, but this gives them enough information to buy suitable gifts for the different ages in the families. When I imagine how happy I was as a child with my gifts during the holidays, I feel warmed by the idea that I can give that feeling to these children. That I was able to make this happen together with you.

Tabitha and Ingmar were thrilled with the generous donation. They also let us know that we'd be able to see what's being done with it, but I can't share that until after Sinterklaas. So, TO BE CONTINUED!

By the way, I'm leaving the option to donate money to Kledingbank de Kempen open until November 30th. Anything donated after October 29th will be donated to Kledingbank de Kempen for general expenses such as building rent, clothing purchases, and other fixed costs. This means it won't go towards buying holiday gifts, but it will still be put to good use.
