Please Help Victoria Speechley Achieve Her Birthday Wish

Victoria Speechley's Birthday Wish is for people to donate to the P.E.A.C.E. (Protect Educate Children Everywhere) Fund.

I have never met Victoria Speechley, but she has been working with one of my favorite charities for a few years and instead of asking for presents for herself she is asking for people to donate money instead.

I applaud her for that. I must say I did not know about this birthday wish idea when it was my birthday. I seriously doubt anyone I know would have donated (especially this) considering how hard it has been for the people in my life.

As of this writing I have one friend fighting to keep her grandson, another has been out of work for almost two years, one friend lost her dad the other day and now has nowhere to live, another friend (whole family) has nowhere to live and is looking, one friend just lost his job a couple of weeks ago, my ex-boss' husband had a stroke the other day too, and my family has been plagued with health and work problems themselves.

These last couple of years have been extremely rough for almost everyone in my life.

I seem to be working a lot and getting absolutely nowhere. I was supposed to get a raise the end of June (not that it would help much considering how little I get paid), but it has not gone through yet. My boss (whom I do actually like) was late getting the review in. Now I will be a shift leader with I believe another raise and some health insurance.

The check with the back pay will be nice, but in reality it will just take out more taxes than if it been done on time.

I wish I had the time and money to help out the charities and causes I really do believe in, but I will have to settle for spreading the word.

I have a few ideas for the area I live in for fundraisers if I ever get a job that does not stress me out or exhaust me as this job does. The work would not be that bad if everyone actually did more and showed up on time. It would also help if people would stop quitting.

The PEACE Fund **Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere** Merchandise Link Included

I know I should have posted this much much earlier so people could buy for Christmas. I am really sorry about that.

However, there are many other gift giving holidays coming up or buy for yourself or as a just because I love you or like you gift for someone else.

The PEACE Fund "Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere" is a recognized charity started by the actor Adrian Paul. Its focus is to collect money through fundraisers, donations, auctions, and selling merchandise to help other underfunded, smaller and quite frankly children's charities that the main media does NOT cover.

They do not spend millions of dollars on television, print, radio or internet advertising. I think most can think of at least 2 or 3 big children's charities that do. Many people (like me) probably first heard about the charity by going to his website because they were either a fan of his or the television show "Highlander: the series".

I do not write much about charities, but this one definitely caught my eyes and I did more research on it. I do not have kids and do not plan on having them, but I have 7 great nieces and nephews along with my friends and neighbors kids. I have 1 nephew who has autism and 1 friend who's daughter was diagnosed with MS last year.

I unfortunately do not have the financial means (the store I currently work at is closing the end of January 2009) to donate or purchase merchandise, but I can at least help spread the word around.

So, please check out the website to learn more and perhaps to donate, buy something, or to find out how to volunteer.


Some of the items you can purchase are t-shirts, baseball hats, doggie shirts, tote bags, coffee mugs, note cards, mouse pad, and more.

I know I have written about

"The Peace Fund"

(Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere)

started by Adrian Paul

before, but they updated part of their site.

One way the organization raise funds is by holding online auctions.

If you have something unique, a "hot" item

(I.E. Something in high demand people not stolen....

do not even let your mind go there.),

or if you have

a news program, magazine, newspaper, blog, website,

et cetera you can help spread the word.

To find out more about the auction,

to help them out,

or to receive a press release please click on the link below.

You will also be able to learn how the organization started,

who is involved (loads of celebrities),

and other ways you can help.

Donate % on E-Bay for The Peace Fund

You can now donate to "The Peace Fund" on E-Bay.

Actually you were able to starting sometime last year.

If you decide to sell something on E-Bay

you can donate anywhere

from 10% to 100% to your favorite charity.

It is nice to have the option of donating to charities,

especially not big charities like (The Red Cross)

that gets most of the media attention.

Of course they always need help too.

The big charities get so many requests for help

that they struggle sometimes too.

It is just that when the big charities need help

the big charities seem to get the media attention

from local and national broadcasts in major times of need.

Whereas, the smaller charities

do not seem to get the same media attention

and need the word of mouth help

that blogs

and celebrities

and the fans of celebrities

or television shows

and movies can give.

Together we all can make a difference.

Who knows someday it might be me or you who needs the help.

I am struggling to pay off bi

lls right now

and just do not have any disposable income, but maybe somebody reading this blog

or someone else's blog

does have the money to donate.

I hope so.

Children's Organ Transplant Association--COTA

I was checking out The Peace Fund website and they had a link to COTA; so, I decided to check it out. I did not know there was an organization like this one.

Briefly: This is a charity that helps needy children and young adults (and their families) who need organ transplants. They will help with fundraising and family support. On their website you can learn more about the organization, the children, donate, become a COTA patient, volunteer, become a COTA transplant professional and much more.

If you know someone in need or are in need yourself please check out this website. If you can volunteer or donate please do. I know that everyone can not always afford to donate (like me); so, since I can not afford to donate I hope doing blogs like to get the information and weblinks out help in some small way.

Briefly about The Peace Fund: This charity was founded by actor Adrian Paul (best known probably from Highlander: The Series) to help children worldwide. They also work with other charities to benefit children. If you want to learn more click on the link below.
