Fundraiser/auction for the R.A.P.E FOUNDATION

[Guest guest]

Absolutely Serene, such an inspiration! It does take such little effort sometimes to make such a large difference to someone else. Love,Stef>> Greetings to all on this beautiful morning....!!! What a wonderful day> I had yesterday....I have a myspace account where I have been working> on raising much needed funds for the local Las Vegas R.A.P.E> FOUNDATION. The economy has knocked the wind out of my financial> sails, being self-employed has been rough this past year. It seems> with so many people going into foreclosure on their homes there is> little money or desire to have family portraits done. I feel I have> been on "the edge"..doing my best to not come from fear or poverty> consciousness. I have been pushing the auction of imported and antique> jewelry with the hopes of raising much needed funding for myself and> the foundation I am working for and yesterday I truly felt I was> screaming at the computer and all who were on-line to "HEAR ME!!"..as> a survivor and victor over a past laden with violence(child> abuse,assaults,etc) I just want to be of service to those who are in> need beccause I am and have been there myself. > To my extreme delight two truly beautiful,loving women heard my call> for help..I am far better at giving help than asking!!! Liane Llegey> and Karma showed up...and my feelings of fear and desperation> began to diminish rapidly. I had the pleasure of talking on the phone> with Liane for about two hours!!!!! What a delightful woman!!!> Liane,YOU truly blessed my day!! It looks like we are going to be> working together to sell the amazing collection of jewelry I have> accumulated from overseas. So much of what I purchased last year> helped women and children in the Middle East and Asia to feed their> children...my intent was to do just that. I got a message from a> family in Morocco (an American man with a Moroccan wife and child)> ..they had been evicted from their home because he was American..and> they were on the street with little Sallah..their infant son when I> started purchasing treasures from them. The message I received was> beautiful..through my purchases they were able to stop sleeping in> alleys,they secured an apartment and even had enough to purchase a> dormitory sized refrigerator!!! The show of love and gratitude truly> warmed my heart...I am all about making a difference in people's lives. > So...after lengthy discussions with Liane..we came up with an> idea...to sell the jewelry I have through Humanity Healing..(some of> which is museum pieces,exotic and rare finds from impoverished> nations)..with 20% going to assist those in need. I am beyond> delighted!!! With the purchasing I did last year I helped many around> the world...and now to be able to sell this collection and assist> more...well..it's the next phase of Paying it Forward!!!> I posted an auction last night, the address for those of you who have> a myspace account is myspace.com/mamaserene The auction is posted to> my blog if any are interested in taking a look. I am able to post it> here...and don't want to over-step any rules or regulations here. When> I get the word that permission is granted to post here I will make the> information available to all of you. We are ALL Stewards..we are all> ONE..this is my way of being a hand up ...it takes such little effort> on each individual to improve the life and chances of another...random> acts of kindness...> Blessings,Love, and Light to you all!> and prayers that this endeavor brings relief to those who need so much..> x0x> Serene > Serene>

Hello to all...

Times are tough right now...I am working hard to avoid bankruptcy and

doing some on-line auctions to assist the local R.A.P.E

FOUNDATION....I hope and pray that all of you who read this can show

some support,either by bidding on items or spreading the word of this

project to all your friends. I want to make this a win/win/win....all

the pieces i am auctioning have been purchased from women in 3rd world

countries who are battling to feed and clothe their children. Getting

this auction going and making it succesful will allow me to keep my

head above the financial water line (I am heavily invested)...it has

already helped families around the world when I purchased all these

items...now I need to recoup my investment and share the profits with

women and children who are suffering right here. This project can make

a difference for many...please ck out the site, bid if you can...and

if you are unable to bid, the next best thing would be to share this

information with your friends....Mother's Day is rapidly approaching,

this would be a wonderful way to get a really awesome Mother's Day

gift and help survivors of violence get back on their feet. Holding

hearts and hands can make a difference in this world!!!!

Thank you all for your time,your prayers and for any assistance you

can lend

In LOVE and LIGHT

SERENE
