| I was in tears when I read this, Please help me raise money for this little 5 year old lad, I have spoken to Cyprus today, and Children in need want to be invovled. Lets show some real true spirit and do this. I think we can get around the red tape if we get together with children in need. If we can put a show together half as good as Grand aid , I will be a very happy man. I have called on Glens expertise to help me and everyone else involved, This is not a dog or a cat, this is a child who is being teased at school because he only has one arm. He wants to ride abike, he wants to play ball and all the other normal things that a five year ols would normally do. I am out of TRNC for one week March 8th to 15th. This is my phone number 0533 843 6539. To all you people who know me I am begging for your help. I would like to put a show together maybe in 1 Month's time and raise funds for this beautiful little boy. WILL YOU SUPPORT ME AND HELP ME PLEASE. see next thread. |

| Message 5 I do not kow yet, but Cyprus Today are on the case for me, and they are going to let me know. I think it may be ongoing because as he grows he would need the arm updating so to speak. I will admit that I cried when I read this story, How dreadful being teased bacause you only have one arm at aged five, and people here moan because they cant find their favourite butter. Dosn't make you bloody sick. |

| What makes me more sick, are the ignoramus parents of the children that tease this child, why are they not educating their children that in a nano-second THEIR lives could change - for ever......... Sadly we now live in a world where normal (which is just a setting on the washing machine - outside of that - what is normal)? and perfect - is the required state to be in. Everything is down to education, the parents of the bullying children, and the children themselves. All children accept diversity in others, until their minds are contaminated by toxic outside influences and they begin to question what they see, without being taught compassion tolerance and understanding. I do hope this little boy rises above the unkindness and fulfils his potential, whatever that may be. |

| johnny you know you can count me in, i cried buckets when i read it. Like Ms Garnett says how ignorant some people are to tease this boy and to be honest with you i am surprised here. I am so pleased Children in Need will help under thier umberella, as you know its one I will collect for and support all i can. You just tell me what I can do. Take care my friend. Johnny you know what makes me even more sad that the story went out in a british read paper not a local one. Charity begins at home they say but I guess as we have made it home then so it be. It was the same with baby melish we all rallied around. |

| No 1 Doyen, we all live well. lots of us smoke drink and eat well. one day of everything we all take for granted would go an awful long way. What do do you reckon. Are any of us starving? I very much doubt it. Most of us are aload of spoilt B------s Imagine your life with only one arm at age 5. You know whats its like if you hurt your finger, you cant tie your shoe lace or fasten your shirt button , If people do not support this this. Well God only knows. |

| JohnnyLee - You should have said you have the monopoly on making comment about your feelings surrounding the sad bullying of this little boy - as a parent myself I (and others)! merely echoed what you have already commented on, in no more a constructive way, than we. I give annually to Children in Need, and have extensive contacts in TRNC; I had already decided to do what I can for this young boy, and have already been in touch with family there - but you personally, have lost me....... |

| Dear JohnnyLee - I do really appreciate the stand you have taken (to raise lots of funds) for this little lad. I have to admit I find myself agreeing with message 22 (MsGarnet). Like her, we give monthly to a number of charities (we, obviously do not live in TRNC), but, when we come over, we do contribute to local charities, e.g. clothes, funds for KAR, etc. I know you don't want to get into heavy conversation, which I quite understand, but you must appreciate the fact that a lot of us (especially here in the UK) are, of late, a little "charitied out". I do hope you appreciate that this is in no way derogatory to what you are trying to do here. Why not try to raise funds to try to send the little bloke to Great Ormond Stree Hospital? This is the best children's hospital in the world and they are (in my experience) very generous in helping those they need treatment the most. Just a thought. Cont'd.... |

| Please remember,most of those of us who do not live there full-time are, probably giving our help to those at home. You may, perhaps, also take into account, that a lot of us not the 'dreaded' "Ex Pats" but holiday home owners? Having said that, I wish you all the very best in raising funds for this little lad and hope your story has a very happy ending With all good wishes and kind regards. Jean |

| Sorry, I do not want to appear to be rude to anyone. I value all of your comments, thoughts and input. But like I said this has happened and cannot be undone. Yes I also understand that money is very tight for most of us. But most of us can still afford aglass of wine, a block of chocalate, packet of fags. etc. So I am sure we could give a little something. And of course I am aware that many of you do help so many good causes. Like I said . I just want us to try to make a little boys life better. |

| Hi Lee My name is Laurence Floyd, and I am a committee member of the Children in Need Foundation here in the TRNC. I organise the Supper Club events for the charity, and handle media relations I have emailed Mel Fairhurst at Cyprus Today for details regarding the Hospital and/or Doctor who attended the little boy to see if we can assist. We do not donate money as such, but rather fundraise towards a goal and deal with the professionals to provide the services The provision of a prosethic arm will require a number of visits to a specialist facility, probably in Turkey, for fitting, consultation etc, and then of course an ongoing situation as the lad grows We would welcome your assistence in this endeavour, and I am sure we could work together to mitigate against some of the issues Glen faced when organising the Grand Aid event Give me a call on 0533 879 6892 and we can discuss best way forward Laurence |

| I know this is a long shot but I do know that the Beckhams have a charity of their own and they help children with special needs by providing things that they need not money. Usually it is Victoria's Mum who deals with the requests and then helps out the family but not in any public way. Contact them and if they know that it is a genuine case they may well help. |

Message 32 that sounds excellent. I am going to have alook on the internet to see what I can find out about this. I am very grateful for all the offers of help and I will keep you up to date as and when I know more. |

| OK , latest update. Lots of talking yesterday. Very construtive input from many people. and people offering their services. THANKYOU. I had chat with a very helpful, well clued up gentleman Laurence, from Children in need, we can work together and hopfully this will eradicate the revenue problems. It is not somthing that we need to rush into, it is more long term. But the ballis rolling and we need to keep it that way. I am going to the UK next week and I am going to have meeting there to find out about the situation of openening a AC. for donations. an also to try and get some interest via friends in the UK. So yes we will be coming back to all you kind people and taking you up on these offers of donations etc. I have also spoken to Ilnur who was very much involved with the recent excellent Grand Aid concert. And she as kindly offered to be my right hand man , so to speak. I know she is very capable and also as the added advantage of speaking fluent Turkish. |

| johhnyLee Good luck & well done for thinking of this young lad....very tragic story. Although I don't do heights I was thinking that I might HAVE to do a sponsored paraglide to help raise some funds for Ismail......just the thought of it makes me feel dizzy but when I can get it organised I WILL do it. This little boys courage will spur me on. Hopefully some Cyprus44 members will sponsor me?......nicely please! Watch this space....... |

| If I could win the Lotto I would keep just enough to be comnfortable, and I would get so much pleasure from throwing a big party and giving a few people a nice big cheque. At the end of the day , I eat well have a drink (somtimes to much) have what I think is a fantastic life., and as you so rightly state Health is Wealth. |

| Thank you Marcos, and Lillia and all of you . I have to be off the case for approx 8 days, due to commitments. So in the meantime if anyone can do anything at all to help or assist. Please feel free . At the end of the day however (or whoever) if we can meet this goal that is all that matters. If any of you can get us publicity on this I would welcome that also. As I have explained I am not good with IT, and also no Elec. makes things awkward. So just to let you know that I value everyones help. Thankyou, This will be one big team effort. In the meantime please feel free to contact Ilnur on 0533 869 6699. |

| Johnny Izzet very easily set up a 'click and donate now' link when he requested funds for this forum. Is it not possible to do the same for this sort of thing? It is very easy these days to pay via PayPal. I would certainly donate this way as I can't support the events you are organising (I'm currently in UK). Might be worth contacting Izzet to see if there is anything that he can do. SPF |

| OK I said I would update you tonight on the appeal for N.A.F.I. New arm for Ismail Our backs are against the wall a bit tonight, we have generator and computor problems, so I need to be quick. We had avery productive week in the UK, lots of response, many of our friends in the uk want to donate. There is now a UK bank account open as follows. any HSBC bank, it is ISMAILS APPEAL sort code 40 10 39 AC num. 40079324. HSBC where very helpful, you can donate on line or go into any HSBC branch fill in a paying in slip with those details . I know that several of the board members in the UK said they would like to donate. However large or small every penny will go directly to the necessary hospital or surgeons concerned, We only got back late last night, and like I say we are under pressure due to technical problems. If you wish tou can publish on the forum what you have donated, or you may prefer to remain anonymous. Please see next post. |

| Also my Restaurant in the UK want to hold a benefit evening for Ismail, I have to organise this from this end, but we have many good regular customers who I am sure will help. I am also now going to try to arrange a meeting for all those people intrested in helping from this end. we are alsoin the process of arrangigng a benefit concert in TRNC, Pia Bella have confirmed that they will allow us to stage it there. We are having flyers and posters printed in the UK my aim is to try to raise £20,000 . I do not know if this is enough, but I am sure it would go along way to help. To all the kind people in the TRNC who have offered to donate, could you please bear with me whilst we find out the correct and legal way to collect money in the TRNC, My phone Num is 0053 843 6539, If you can can help us in any way, ie.name awareness, any ideas at all, it would be most welcome Thank for taking the time to read this. |

| ted he gives his time for any charity, i call on him regularly, one hell of a man. and a brill performer. this is close to his heart and we all will get behind him. You will know when you come here, we may slag each other off but usually in jest. When push comes to shove and we can help we do. help for heros is close to my heart but we are away from uk news so maybe not many know. fienship paul has just completed a walk for them. we are really a nice bunch and I know from experience how they get behind you. I am a humble soul now knowing how many friends I have here. You do not know me but we have a restaurant here but Im more well known for getting dogs dumped on me and some how magic really finding homes for these souls. This I could not do without my cyber friends. Ted I wish you all the love and luck, you have done your homework and I have a feeling ( another story as Im an irish witch) you will have a good life here xxxxxxxxxx |

| Hi Lee Laurence has just spoken to Judy, and to ensure we all proceed an orderly fashion I will be there. The Treasurer of The Children in Need Foundatin John Holloway, has undertaken to contact the doctor who amputated Ismails arm to agree the way forward. We have provided Judy Hayward with letters of authorisation and logos to work under the charity umbrella as discussed. Let's all agree a structure that is workable, which ensures funds raised are ring fenced and administered in a legally accepable fashion. If you want to meet for a coffee as we discussed please call me on 0533 879 6892. Laurence Floyd Children in Need Foundation |

| MIRACLES MISSION IN THE UK is to provide a Rapid Response help source for the ever-increasing number of people who fall through the net of other aid agencies and can find nowhere else to turn … MIRACLES is a British-based charity with a worldwide reputation. Born of a graveside hug between a Muslim and a Christian at the height of the Bosnian war, many a miracle has been achieved over the years since MIRACLES came into being. The Prosthesis Centre is the sole beneficiary of our new Swiss Foundation: La Fondation Miracles in Geneva which came into being in September 2008 and whose first major fundraiser took place in November. Lee They are waiting for a response, I hope you can supply them with the info they have requested ASAP. |
