Update for 16/09/2014
16 September 2014A Big Thank You. Hello to the many of you wonderful folk who have donated your money, your time, and your help to us. We would have struggled during Tumour Time and this current year had it not been for you all. Every dollar you gave helped us out ? we were able to get ourselves out of debt and pay our bills. It even helped us to buy that delicious meal of KFC on New Yearfs Eve when we had a picnic on the lounge floor at home. Since then we have bought a bed, a super awesome one that Kings and Queens would use all the timec because sleep is pretty important these days. We also paid off our credit card bill, paid off my parents, paid off my brotherc er, living the life as an artist has been a bit of hard work. But we are now financially in the all clear and are very lucky to be living a wonderful life againc in between naps of course ? all thanks to you. If itfs possible I hope to repay you all through my future artwork, and to put a smile on your face. I never used to believe in karma, but now I do. Tony Dear Tony's Tin Soldiers The emotion has started to flow as soon as I tried to think of what I wanted to say to you all. At a time when I was hanging on to hope, a wonderful friend of ours set up this Givealittle site. She knew not to ask for permission, because she knew I would say no. And first I felt too proud and embarrassed to accept the money. Some of you we know and some we don't. But everyone of you has relieved us of a little bit of stress to help us push through this adventure (Tony likes to call it an adventure, but I have other names for it!) The road to recovery is a long one and at the moment I am enjoying having the kids and Tony under my feet at home. The journey is by no means over but the road has been paved a little smoother by you all. Thank you, thank you with all of my heart!! Pipa PS: I have held on to all of the ice cream containers that were delivered full of meals and goodies and plan on filling them all and delivering to others in need as soon as we are on our feet again.
