MASSIVE NEWS!

I have some really big news I can finally release!

As you probably know, I will be going back to the children's home in February. When I said goodbye to my children's social worker I asked about a crazy idea that had been forming in my head for a while. I asked on the wild hope that it would be allowed, but I wasn't expecting anything to come of it. I definitely didn't think she would say yes. It was beyond my wildest dreams that the director of the home would also agree and I would have permission to go ahead with my mad plans. But that all happened and here we are!

I will be bringing 6 children back to England with me!

I originally wanted to bring all 14 that are currently in the house back, but obviously it just isn't possible, instead we have picked 3 boys and 3 girls some of whom aren't currently in Stepping Stones, but probably will be by 2015. I can't give their names out and the children themselves don't even know yet so I have to stress: If you are currently at the home, or if you are going to the home, please do not talk about this to any of the children or child-care workers. I am doing everything in my power to raise enough money to bring the kids here, but it is a lot especially on top of what I have to raise to get myself back out and I don't want the children to hear about it from ANYONE until it is guaranteed that they will be coming. Otherwise it could just become another empty promise, and I won't let that happen.

I have emailed several newspapers and TV/Radio places to see if they can run a story because I think what I really need is publicity. I also plan on writing to as many airlines as I can to see if I can get any sort of discount or sponsorship from them, as the flights will be the most expensive thing. I might see if I can get a scheme running where people can sponsor a child, so you might be able to pay for the petrol for a child to go to Chester Zoo or something similar. Something like Kickstarter or RocketHub. Rewards may include meeting the kids (although I think that's a fairly long shot) or seeing video's-maybe video chat with them? Not sure, that's just a base idea at the moment.

For now though, I'm just focused entirely on getting the money for them to come back. If you would be interested in helping in any way, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
